00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.500
 Please take your copy of God's Word and turn to Acts chapter 2.

00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:13.500
 Continue this morning our study of Luke's second volume of the work of Christ.

00:00:13.500 --> 00:00:14.800
 The work of Christ.

00:00:15.560 --> 00:00:22.839
 We see in the Gospel according to Luke, the account of Jesus' earthly ministry as told by Luke.

00:00:22.839 --> 00:00:29.079
 And then here we find in the book of Acts, Luke's account of Jesus' heavenly ministry.

00:00:29.559 --> 00:00:33.900
 The way in which He works now in His people.

00:00:34.039 --> 00:00:41.299
 And we find ourselves woven into this redemptive story as the continuation of that very work.

00:00:42.219 --> 00:00:49.439
 This morning we'll take our second look at Acts chapter 2, verses 1 through 12.

00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:54.159
 Last week I expressed to you that in my study of it,

00:00:54.819 --> 00:01:03.000
 there was just too much that is good to be said about these 12 verses to try to tackle it in a single week.

00:01:03.099 --> 00:01:09.000
 I must admit I'm still feeling that way, although I will wrap our study of verses 1 through 12 up today

00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:13.939
 and then look for further opportunity, and it abounds throughout the book of Acts,

00:01:13.939 --> 00:01:19.420
 to talk more about what it means to be filled with the Spirit of God.

00:01:20.280 --> 00:01:26.879
 Last week I stripped out the historical significance of the sending of the Spirit of God

00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:29.740
 and the way in which God did so.

00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:36.039
 I pointed out to you that God reigns sovereignly over redemptive history.

00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:42.840
 That in Leviticus chapter 23, when He gives the prescription for the feasts of Israel,

00:01:43.300 --> 00:01:46.000
 that He was outlining this time.

00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:47.580
 The death of Christ.

00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:50.200
 The resurrection of Christ.

00:01:50.360 --> 00:01:55.100
 And now on the day of Pentecost, 50 days later,

00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:58.620
 the sending of the Spirit of Christ.

00:01:58.620 --> 00:02:05.540
 My hope in last week was that your heart would be moved to worship.

00:02:06.540 --> 00:02:08.879
 What a God we serve,

00:02:09.300 --> 00:02:16.480
 who way back in Leviticus 23 was already planning the redemption of His people.

00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:20.840
 And we are part of that redemptive story,

00:02:20.980 --> 00:02:25.960
 and the sending of the Holy Spirit has great significance for us today.

00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:30.580
 Recall so far in the book of Acts chapter 1,

00:02:30.700 --> 00:02:35.280
 there's a short account of Jesus' post-resurrection ministry.

00:02:36.100 --> 00:02:36.719
 Verse 3 reads,

00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:41.640
 He presented Himself alive to them after His suffering by many proofs,

00:02:41.640 --> 00:02:46.760
 appearing to them during 40 days and speaking about the kingdom of God.

00:02:46.819 --> 00:02:48.379
 And then verse 4 and 5,

00:02:48.379 --> 00:02:53.359
 Jesus gives to them a command to stay in Jerusalem

00:02:53.359 --> 00:02:56.419
 and wait for the promised Holy Spirit.

00:02:57.460 --> 00:02:58.319
 Verse 4 reads,

00:02:58.400 --> 00:02:59.359
 And while staying with them,

00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:01.219
 He ordered them not to depart from Jerusalem,

00:03:01.359 --> 00:03:03.120
 but to wait for the promise of the Father,

00:03:03.240 --> 00:03:04.500
 which He said,

00:03:04.979 --> 00:03:06.180
 You heard from Me,

00:03:06.300 --> 00:03:06.879
 verse 5,

00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:09.259
 for John baptized with water,

00:03:09.259 --> 00:03:12.340
 but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit

00:03:12.340 --> 00:03:15.099
 not many days from now.

00:03:15.099 --> 00:03:17.019
 Verse 8,

00:03:17.099 --> 00:03:21.639
 there's a promise of power for the fulfillment of their purpose.

00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:23.039
 Jesus says,

00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:26.639
 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you,

00:03:26.959 --> 00:03:28.939
 and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem,

00:03:29.459 --> 00:03:31.359
 and in all Judea and Samaria,

00:03:32.259 --> 00:03:33.959
 and to the end of the earth.

00:03:34.060 --> 00:03:35.639
 And then verse 9,

00:03:35.959 --> 00:03:37.280
 He ascends.

00:03:37.859 --> 00:03:40.079
 He goes up to the right hand of the Father,

00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:44.100
 giving Him the ability now to send the Helper,

00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:45.140
 the Spirit.

00:03:45.440 --> 00:03:47.140
 And 10 days later,

00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:50.620
 that promise of power is fulfilled.

00:03:51.540 --> 00:03:53.740
 And that purpose that He set forth for them

00:03:53.740 --> 00:03:55.200
 in the Great Commission,

00:03:55.600 --> 00:03:56.400
 Matthew 28,

00:03:56.500 --> 00:03:58.600
 and the restating of it here in chapter 1,

00:03:58.600 --> 00:03:59.480
 verse 8,

00:03:59.740 --> 00:04:01.380
 takes off.

00:04:02.740 --> 00:04:05.120
 That's what we have before us today.

00:04:05.720 --> 00:04:08.420
 What a blessing to have an account of this

00:04:08.420 --> 00:04:09.660
 for our study.

00:04:10.660 --> 00:04:13.640
 Beloved, this is God's Word to us.

00:04:14.500 --> 00:04:15.840
 It was written for His glory

00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:17.600
 and for our good.

00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:20.340
 We would all do well to listen to it

00:04:20.340 --> 00:04:21.759
 in order to believe its promises

00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:24.939
 and obey its commands.

00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:27.860
 Chapter 2, beginning in verse 1.

00:04:28.860 --> 00:04:31.560
 When the day of Pentecost arrived,

00:04:31.660 --> 00:04:33.819
 they were all together in one place.

00:04:34.460 --> 00:04:36.139
 And suddenly there came from heaven

00:04:36.139 --> 00:04:38.620
 a sound like a mighty rushing wind,

00:04:38.620 --> 00:04:40.959
 and it filled the entire house

00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:42.079
 where they were sitting.

00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:45.280
 And divided tongues as of fire

00:04:45.280 --> 00:04:46.240
 appeared to them

00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:48.840
 and rested on each one of them.

00:04:49.379 --> 00:04:51.420
 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit

00:04:51.420 --> 00:04:53.699
 and began to speak in other tongues

00:04:53.699 --> 00:04:55.680
 as the Spirit gave them utterance.

00:04:56.180 --> 00:04:57.860
 Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem

00:04:57.860 --> 00:04:58.560
 Jews,

00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:01.060
 devout men from every nation under heaven.

00:05:01.060 --> 00:05:02.439
 And at this sound,

00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:04.019
 the multitude came together

00:05:04.019 --> 00:05:05.600
 and they were bewildered

00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:07.579
 because each one was hearing them speak

00:05:07.579 --> 00:05:08.920
 in his own language.

00:05:09.620 --> 00:05:11.780
 And they were amazed and astonished,

00:05:11.939 --> 00:05:12.259
 saying,

00:05:12.420 --> 00:05:14.680
 Are not all these who are speaking

00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:15.920
 Galileans?

00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:18.460
 And how is it that we hear each of us

00:05:18.460 --> 00:05:20.680
 in his own native language?

00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:23.540
 Parthians and Medes

00:05:23.540 --> 00:05:24.720
 and Elamites

00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:26.540
 and residents of Mesopotamia,

00:05:26.960 --> 00:05:28.700
 Judea and Cappadocia,

00:05:29.200 --> 00:05:30.720
 Pontus in Asia,

00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:32.759
 Phrygia and Pamphylia,

00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:34.740
 Egypt and the parts of Libya

00:05:34.740 --> 00:05:36.120
 belonging to Cyrene

00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:37.780
 and visitors from Rome,

00:05:38.200 --> 00:05:40.259
 both Jews and proselytites,

00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:42.660
 Cretans and Arabians.

00:05:42.660 --> 00:05:45.580
 We hear them telling in our own tongues

00:05:45.580 --> 00:05:48.460
 the mighty works of God.

00:05:49.200 --> 00:05:51.660
 And all were amazed and perplexed,

00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:53.580
 saying to one another,

00:05:53.980 --> 00:05:56.160
 What does this mean?

00:05:57.240 --> 00:05:58.760
 And so we see this account

00:05:58.760 --> 00:06:00.160
 of the disciples.

00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:02.900
 It's probably right to presume

00:06:02.900 --> 00:06:04.640
 that this is that approximately

00:06:04.640 --> 00:06:08.320
 120 people that we saw in chapter 1,

00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:11.280
 likely gathered in this very same

00:06:11.820 --> 00:06:12.620
 upper room.

00:06:12.860 --> 00:06:13.880
 The particular details

00:06:13.880 --> 00:06:15.180
 aren't given to us,

00:06:15.220 --> 00:06:16.920
 but we know that they're all together

00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:18.780
 and they're in a house.

00:06:19.660 --> 00:06:21.660
 And the Spirit of God comes to them

00:06:21.660 --> 00:06:25.480
 both audibly and visually.

00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:27.800
 And they began to speak

00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:30.200
 of the mighty works of God

00:06:30.200 --> 00:06:32.640
 in various known languages.

00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:34.100
 For this text,

00:06:34.200 --> 00:06:35.520
 we're going to bring it down.

00:06:35.640 --> 00:06:36.600
 Known languages.

00:06:37.140 --> 00:06:40.680
 They speak the mighty works of God.

00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:42.579
 And we have this list of people

00:06:42.579 --> 00:06:44.660
 from all over,

00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:47.199
 essentially the known world.

00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:48.819
 Luke's trying to show us

00:06:48.819 --> 00:06:50.720
 the broad nature

00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:52.420
 in which the gospel went forth

00:06:52.420 --> 00:06:54.400
 to these people.

00:06:54.639 --> 00:06:56.259
 Both those who were Jews

00:06:56.259 --> 00:06:57.899
 and those who were proselytites

00:06:57.899 --> 00:07:00.420
 or converts to Judaism.

00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:02.860
 And they're here in this place

00:07:02.860 --> 00:07:03.980
 and they ask the question,

00:07:03.980 --> 00:07:06.740
 what does this mean?

00:07:07.700 --> 00:07:08.580
 And so as last week

00:07:08.580 --> 00:07:09.800
 we pulled out much of that

00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:11.180
 historical significance,

00:07:11.700 --> 00:07:14.520
 this morning I want to frame

00:07:14.520 --> 00:07:16.280
 the sermon with three questions.

00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:19.000
 1.

00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:19.419
 Number one,

00:07:20.619 --> 00:07:22.639
 what is the baptism

00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:24.459
 of the Holy Spirit

00:07:24.459 --> 00:07:26.659
 that Jesus promises

00:07:26.659 --> 00:07:27.939
 in chapter 1, verse 5?

00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:29.199
 That's important.

00:07:29.299 --> 00:07:30.379
 He makes a promise

00:07:30.379 --> 00:07:32.299
 that's fulfilled

00:07:32.299 --> 00:07:34.500
 in Acts chapter 2.

00:07:34.739 --> 00:07:35.719
 So what is

00:07:35.719 --> 00:07:37.059
 the baptism of the Holy Spirit

00:07:37.059 --> 00:07:37.899
 that Jesus promises

00:07:37.899 --> 00:07:39.659
 in chapter 1, verse 5?

00:07:39.779 --> 00:07:40.079
 2.

00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:40.139
 Secondly,

00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:42.299
 what is meant by

00:07:42.299 --> 00:07:44.359
 they were all filled

00:07:44.360 --> 00:07:45.740
 with the Holy Spirit

00:07:45.740 --> 00:07:47.699
 in chapter 2, verse 4?

00:07:48.960 --> 00:07:50.100
 And thirdly,

00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:52.699
 how are we

00:07:52.699 --> 00:07:55.060
 filled with the Holy Spirit?

00:07:55.259 --> 00:07:56.100
 So that's the framework

00:07:56.100 --> 00:07:57.259
 for this morning.

00:07:58.020 --> 00:07:58.120
 Right?

00:07:58.520 --> 00:08:00.160
 I'm stepping a little bit

00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:01.280
 outside of the text.

00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:01.879
 Right?

00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:03.600
 So we're not verse by verse

00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:04.139
 this morning.

00:08:04.220 --> 00:08:04.920
 A lot of that detail

00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:06.300
 was given last week.

00:08:06.740 --> 00:08:08.160
 But these three questions

00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:09.660
 need to be answered.

00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:11.780
 And I want to answer them

00:08:11.780 --> 00:08:12.840
 in their entirety.

00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:14.280
 I really want to give you

00:08:14.279 --> 00:08:15.759
 the complete systematic

00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:18.219
 presentation of life

00:08:18.219 --> 00:08:20.159
 in and by the Spirit.

00:08:20.719 --> 00:08:21.539
 I just can't.

00:08:21.579 --> 00:08:22.719
 It's impossible to do it

00:08:22.719 --> 00:08:23.639
 in the time frame

00:08:23.639 --> 00:08:24.979
 we have this morning.

00:08:25.239 --> 00:08:26.359
 So what I want to give to you

00:08:26.359 --> 00:08:26.779
 is the answers

00:08:26.779 --> 00:08:27.579
 to these questions.

00:08:28.939 --> 00:08:30.179
 Not exhaustively,

00:08:30.619 --> 00:08:31.819
 but I hope amply

00:08:31.819 --> 00:08:32.699
 for you to begin

00:08:32.699 --> 00:08:33.459
 going from here

00:08:33.459 --> 00:08:34.419
 and considering this

00:08:34.419 --> 00:08:35.959
 and to have a very clear

00:08:35.959 --> 00:08:36.860
 understanding

00:08:36.860 --> 00:08:38.379
 as we move forward

00:08:38.379 --> 00:08:39.240
 in our study

00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:40.620
 of the book of Acts.

00:08:41.459 --> 00:08:42.240
 So first question.

00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:45.139
 What is the baptism

00:08:45.139 --> 00:08:46.620
 of the Holy Spirit

00:08:46.620 --> 00:08:47.899
 that Jesus promises

00:08:47.899 --> 00:08:49.259
 in chapter 1,

00:08:49.560 --> 00:08:50.259
 verse 5?

00:08:51.060 --> 00:08:52.460
 And to answer that question,

00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:54.299
 we need to look

00:08:54.299 --> 00:08:55.340
 at how this phrase

00:08:55.340 --> 00:08:56.080
 is used

00:08:56.080 --> 00:08:57.320
 in the New Testament.

00:08:57.779 --> 00:08:58.919
 Not just to see it here,

00:08:58.980 --> 00:09:00.320
 but to see other places

00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:01.019
 that it's used.

00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:02.320
 And it's only used

00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:03.080
 in the New Testament

00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:04.440
 seven times.

00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:07.600
 Four times

00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:08.799
 as the prediction

00:09:08.799 --> 00:09:10.279
 of John the Baptist

00:09:10.279 --> 00:09:11.699
 concerning Jesus.

00:09:11.899 --> 00:09:14.059
 So four of these times

00:09:14.059 --> 00:09:15.519
 are the accounts

00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:16.779
 of the Gospel writers,

00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:18.419
 Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John,

00:09:18.479 --> 00:09:20.099
 of the same prediction

00:09:20.099 --> 00:09:22.099
 that John the Baptist gave.

00:09:22.219 --> 00:09:22.919
 I'll read it to you

00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:25.159
 from Matthew 3, verse 11.

00:09:26.179 --> 00:09:27.719
 I, this is John speaking,

00:09:27.959 --> 00:09:29.299
 baptized you with water

00:09:29.299 --> 00:09:30.500
 for repentance,

00:09:31.199 --> 00:09:33.039
 but he who is coming after me

00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:34.859
 is mightier than I,

00:09:35.379 --> 00:09:36.019
 whose sandals

00:09:36.019 --> 00:09:37.279
 I am not worthy

00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:38.000
 to carry,

00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:39.220
 speaking of Christ,

00:09:39.659 --> 00:09:41.480
 he will baptize you

00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:43.179
 with the Holy Spirit

00:09:43.179 --> 00:09:44.659
 and fire.

00:09:45.659 --> 00:09:46.439
 This is also found

00:09:46.439 --> 00:09:47.419
 in Mark 1.8,

00:09:47.819 --> 00:09:49.019
 Luke 3.16,

00:09:49.419 --> 00:09:51.740
 and John 1.33.

00:09:52.139 --> 00:09:53.419
 So, those are the first

00:09:53.419 --> 00:09:54.360
 four times

00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:55.199
 that this phrasing

00:09:55.199 --> 00:09:56.500
 is used.

00:09:57.059 --> 00:09:58.100
 The next two passages

00:09:58.100 --> 00:10:00.319
 refer directly to

00:10:00.319 --> 00:10:01.659
 the day of Pentecost.

00:10:02.279 --> 00:10:03.539
 We just read

00:10:03.539 --> 00:10:05.579
 Acts 1.5.

00:10:05.580 --> 00:10:06.759
 So that's the fifth

00:10:06.759 --> 00:10:07.720
 accounting of it

00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:08.800
 that Jesus says,

00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:09.700
 you heard from me

00:10:09.700 --> 00:10:10.900
 for John baptized with water,

00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:12.540
 but you will be baptized

00:10:12.540 --> 00:10:13.460
 with the Holy Spirit

00:10:13.460 --> 00:10:16.160
 not many days from now.

00:10:16.680 --> 00:10:17.320
 And then again

00:10:17.320 --> 00:10:18.259
 in the book of Acts,

00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:19.879
 so this is the sixth time,

00:10:20.280 --> 00:10:22.020
 Acts 11.16,

00:10:22.660 --> 00:10:23.980
 where Peter is speaking

00:10:23.980 --> 00:10:25.120
 and he's referring

00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:26.820
 back to the words of Christ

00:10:26.820 --> 00:10:27.720
 that we have recorded

00:10:27.720 --> 00:10:28.900
 in chapter 1, verse 5.

00:10:29.820 --> 00:10:30.660
 It's recorded,

00:10:31.040 --> 00:10:31.700
 11.16,

00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:32.600
 the book of Acts,

00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:34.000
 and I remembered

00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:35.000
 the word of the Lord,

00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:36.039
 how he said,

00:10:36.700 --> 00:10:38.480
 John baptized with water,

00:10:38.960 --> 00:10:40.820
 but you will be baptized

00:10:40.820 --> 00:10:42.019
 with the Holy Spirit.

00:10:42.799 --> 00:10:44.000
 So the first six times

00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:44.820
 this phrasing is used,

00:10:44.940 --> 00:10:45.519
 it's all,

00:10:45.740 --> 00:10:46.759
 it's talking about

00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:47.779
 what will happen

00:10:47.779 --> 00:10:49.620
 and then

00:10:49.620 --> 00:10:50.779
 what has happened.

00:10:51.139 --> 00:10:51.259
 Right?

00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:52.740
 So, five talking about

00:10:52.740 --> 00:10:53.139
 what will,

00:10:53.539 --> 00:10:54.600
 the sixth one talking about

00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:56.980
 what has happened.

00:10:56.980 --> 00:10:59.259
 But when we get to

00:10:59.259 --> 00:11:00.259
 the book of 1 Corinthians,

00:11:00.539 --> 00:11:01.600
 chapter 12,

00:11:02.120 --> 00:11:02.960
 Paul helps us

00:11:02.960 --> 00:11:04.060
 a bit more understand

00:11:04.060 --> 00:11:05.340
 what all of this means.

00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:06.460
 He gives us some commentary

00:11:06.460 --> 00:11:07.639
 on it.

00:11:08.300 --> 00:11:09.960
 Verses 12-13,

00:11:10.720 --> 00:11:12.279
 after speaking of the various

00:11:12.279 --> 00:11:13.300
 spiritual gifts

00:11:13.300 --> 00:11:14.680
 in which God imparts

00:11:14.680 --> 00:11:16.220
 by the Spirit of God,

00:11:16.580 --> 00:11:17.139
 he says,

00:11:17.139 --> 00:11:18.899
 for just as the body

00:11:18.899 --> 00:11:20.419
 is one

00:11:20.419 --> 00:11:22.360
 and has many members

00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:24.159
 and all the members

00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:24.699
 of the body,

00:11:24.860 --> 00:11:25.460
 though many,

00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:26.580
 are one body,

00:11:26.819 --> 00:11:29.240
 so it is with Christ.

00:11:30.279 --> 00:11:32.019
 For in one Spirit

00:11:32.019 --> 00:11:33.799
 we were all baptized

00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:36.559
 into one body.

00:11:36.779 --> 00:11:37.659
 Jews or Greeks,

00:11:38.279 --> 00:11:39.319
 slaves or free,

00:11:39.699 --> 00:11:41.019
 and all were made

00:11:41.019 --> 00:11:41.679
 to drink

00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:44.019
 of one Spirit.

00:11:44.019 --> 00:11:45.059
 Now,

00:11:45.980 --> 00:11:47.100
 we have to be careful

00:11:47.100 --> 00:11:49.039
 in our hermeneutic

00:11:49.039 --> 00:11:49.819
 understanding,

00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:50.799
 which is the study

00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:51.740
 of how to study

00:11:51.740 --> 00:11:52.340
 the Scripture,

00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:53.600
 to know that

00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:55.559
 not every phrase

00:11:55.559 --> 00:11:57.199
 is used in every place

00:11:57.199 --> 00:11:58.319
 in the same way.

00:11:58.480 --> 00:11:59.519
 So, hear me saying

00:11:59.519 --> 00:12:00.639
 that I recognize that.

00:12:00.699 --> 00:12:01.980
 We can't always draw

00:12:01.980 --> 00:12:03.579
 connections between phrases

00:12:03.579 --> 00:12:05.259
 every single time.

00:12:05.379 --> 00:12:05.939
 Sometimes,

00:12:06.799 --> 00:12:07.579
 metaphors are used

00:12:07.579 --> 00:12:08.259
 interchangeably

00:12:08.259 --> 00:12:09.179
 in different ways,

00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:09.740
 and it would be

00:12:09.740 --> 00:12:11.620
 dangerous to always

00:12:11.620 --> 00:12:12.600
 make them synonymous

00:12:12.600 --> 00:12:13.620
 no matter

00:12:13.620 --> 00:12:14.519
 what.

00:12:15.539 --> 00:12:16.080
 However,

00:12:16.779 --> 00:12:18.679
 if we have a broader

00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:19.740
 biblical understanding

00:12:19.740 --> 00:12:21.039
 and we take into account

00:12:21.039 --> 00:12:22.019
 passages like

00:12:22.019 --> 00:12:23.440
 Romans 8-9,

00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:24.200
 where Paul says,

00:12:24.620 --> 00:12:25.919
 anyone who does not have

00:12:25.919 --> 00:12:27.440
 the Spirit of Christ

00:12:27.440 --> 00:12:29.320
 does not belong

00:12:29.320 --> 00:12:30.560
 to Him.

00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:32.379
 We could take a step

00:12:32.379 --> 00:12:33.620
 back and over

00:12:33.620 --> 00:12:34.639
 to 1 Corinthians 12,

00:12:34.700 --> 00:12:35.259
 12-13,

00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:35.840
 and understand

00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:36.899
 what it is

00:12:36.899 --> 00:12:37.820
 that he's saying.

00:12:38.539 --> 00:12:39.560
 The Spirit

00:12:39.560 --> 00:12:42.259
 was the element

00:12:42.259 --> 00:12:43.259
 in which the

00:12:43.259 --> 00:12:44.480
 Corinthian believers

00:12:44.480 --> 00:12:45.179
 were baptized,

00:12:45.179 --> 00:12:45.939
 was the element

00:12:45.939 --> 00:12:47.159
 in which they were

00:12:47.159 --> 00:12:47.519
 baptized,

00:12:47.519 --> 00:12:49.340
 which moved them

00:12:49.340 --> 00:12:50.679
 positionally

00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:52.679
 into the church.

00:12:53.319 --> 00:12:53.980
 They were baptized

00:12:53.980 --> 00:12:54.600
 in the Spirit

00:12:54.600 --> 00:12:56.539
 and found themselves

00:12:56.539 --> 00:12:57.799
 as part

00:12:57.799 --> 00:12:58.980
 of this body

00:12:58.980 --> 00:12:59.879
 of Christ.

00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:00.480
 I'm going to read it

00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:01.039
 to you again

00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:02.600
 with that framework.

00:13:02.799 --> 00:13:03.580
 Think about

00:13:03.580 --> 00:13:05.480
 verses 12-13

00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:06.460
 in 1 Corinthians 12.

00:13:06.460 --> 00:13:07.660
 For just as the body

00:13:07.660 --> 00:13:08.139
 is one

00:13:08.139 --> 00:13:09.879
 and has many members

00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:11.519
 and all the members

00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:12.000
 of the body,

00:13:12.100 --> 00:13:12.680
 though many,

00:13:12.820 --> 00:13:13.879
 are one body,

00:13:14.060 --> 00:13:15.019
 so it is

00:13:15.019 --> 00:13:16.620
 with Christ.

00:13:17.379 --> 00:13:18.379
 For in one Spirit

00:13:18.379 --> 00:13:19.780
 we were all baptized

00:13:19.780 --> 00:13:21.040
 into one body,

00:13:21.160 --> 00:13:21.800
 Jews or Greeks,

00:13:22.340 --> 00:13:23.500
 slaves or free,

00:13:23.740 --> 00:13:24.879
 and all were made

00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:25.440
 to drink

00:13:25.440 --> 00:13:27.600
 of one Spirit.

00:13:28.560 --> 00:13:29.220
 So,

00:13:29.680 --> 00:13:31.060
 to be baptized

00:13:31.060 --> 00:13:32.960
 in the Holy Spirit

00:13:32.960 --> 00:13:35.060
 is to be

00:13:35.060 --> 00:13:36.460
 regenerate.

00:13:37.460 --> 00:13:38.080
 I read to you

00:13:38.080 --> 00:13:38.680
 from Ezekiel

00:13:38.680 --> 00:13:39.400
 at the very outset

00:13:39.400 --> 00:13:40.960
 of this morning

00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:42.139
 that God

00:13:42.139 --> 00:13:43.300
 gives us

00:13:43.300 --> 00:13:44.139
 His Spirit.

00:13:44.660 --> 00:13:45.320
 He replaces

00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:45.960
 our heart

00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:47.080
 of stone

00:13:47.080 --> 00:13:48.840
 that we inherited

00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:50.300
 from Adam,

00:13:50.500 --> 00:13:51.000
 from our

00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:52.540
 old father.

00:13:52.620 --> 00:13:53.240
 He gives us

00:13:53.240 --> 00:13:54.879
 a heart of flesh.

00:13:55.460 --> 00:13:55.980
 We now have

00:13:55.980 --> 00:13:56.540
 the righteousness

00:13:56.540 --> 00:13:57.940
 of Christ

00:13:57.940 --> 00:13:59.160
 and we place

00:13:59.160 --> 00:14:00.700
 faith in Him

00:14:00.700 --> 00:14:01.639
 for it.

00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:03.000
 So,

00:14:03.059 --> 00:14:03.519
 to be baptized

00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:04.220
 in the Holy Spirit

00:14:04.220 --> 00:14:05.659
 is to be

00:14:05.659 --> 00:14:07.539
 regenerate.

00:14:08.519 --> 00:14:08.819
 So,

00:14:09.179 --> 00:14:10.279
 Jesus promises

00:14:10.279 --> 00:14:11.259
 something here,

00:14:12.279 --> 00:14:13.179
 Acts 1-5,

00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:14.600
 that this baptism

00:14:14.600 --> 00:14:15.639
 will take place.

00:14:16.340 --> 00:14:16.919
 Later we have

00:14:16.919 --> 00:14:17.340
 an account

00:14:17.340 --> 00:14:17.980
 in chapter 2,

00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:18.580
 verse 4,

00:14:18.659 --> 00:14:19.059
 that they were

00:14:19.059 --> 00:14:20.819
 filled with the Spirit

00:14:20.819 --> 00:14:21.600
 and I think

00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:22.679
 the challenge there

00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:23.439
 is that the outset

00:14:23.439 --> 00:14:24.100
 you want to make

00:14:24.100 --> 00:14:25.059
 those two things

00:14:25.059 --> 00:14:25.659
 synonymous.

00:14:25.919 --> 00:14:26.559
 That being baptized

00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:27.220
 and being filled

00:14:27.220 --> 00:14:28.879
 is the same thing.

00:14:28.980 --> 00:14:29.559
 And what I'm suggesting

00:14:29.559 --> 00:14:30.299
 to you is that it is

00:14:30.299 --> 00:14:32.639
 not the same thing.

00:14:33.139 --> 00:14:34.699
 That both things

00:14:34.699 --> 00:14:35.459
 were fulfilled.

00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:36.699
 They both happened

00:14:36.699 --> 00:14:38.839
 in chapter 2.

00:14:39.099 --> 00:14:39.620
 That they were

00:14:39.620 --> 00:14:40.559
 both baptized,

00:14:41.079 --> 00:14:42.059
 Jesus did not lie,

00:14:42.179 --> 00:14:42.759
 they were baptized

00:14:42.759 --> 00:14:43.399
 in the Spirit

00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:44.559
 and,

00:14:44.719 --> 00:14:45.679
 verse 4 begins,

00:14:46.019 --> 00:14:47.299
 and they were all

00:14:47.299 --> 00:14:49.179
 filled with the Holy Spirit.

00:14:49.419 --> 00:14:49.779
 I'm going to

00:14:49.779 --> 00:14:51.099
 work that out for you

00:14:51.099 --> 00:14:51.719
 in just a bit.

00:14:51.779 --> 00:14:52.359
 But that both

00:14:52.359 --> 00:14:53.620
 things happen.

00:14:53.759 --> 00:14:53.919
 Now,

00:14:54.679 --> 00:14:55.579
 with that said,

00:14:55.580 --> 00:14:56.940
 I do not believe

00:14:56.940 --> 00:14:58.040
 that the disciples

00:14:58.040 --> 00:14:59.820
 were converted

00:14:59.820 --> 00:15:00.740
 at this point

00:15:00.740 --> 00:15:01.980
 in Acts 2

00:15:01.980 --> 00:15:04.220
 because...

00:15:04.220 --> 00:15:05.040
 I know I'm

00:15:05.040 --> 00:15:05.820
 contradicting myself.

00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:06.759
 I know I'm

00:15:06.759 --> 00:15:07.420
 contradicting myself.

00:15:08.080 --> 00:15:08.900
 Because they had

00:15:08.900 --> 00:15:09.740
 already given evidence

00:15:09.740 --> 00:15:10.560
 of repentance and faith.

00:15:10.840 --> 00:15:11.500
 So follow me

00:15:11.500 --> 00:15:12.280
 with the text.

00:15:12.340 --> 00:15:12.700
 I want you to go to

00:15:12.700 --> 00:15:13.700
 Matthew chapter 16.

00:15:17.500 --> 00:15:18.340
 My water cup

00:15:18.340 --> 00:15:19.320
 has a handle today.

00:15:19.360 --> 00:15:20.040
 I have a water mug.

00:15:20.040 --> 00:15:20.060
 I have a water mug.

00:15:20.060 --> 00:15:20.060


00:15:20.060 --> 00:15:20.060


00:15:20.060 --> 00:15:20.060


00:15:20.060 --> 00:15:20.060


00:15:20.060 --> 00:15:24.100
 I have a water mug.

00:15:24.100 --> 00:15:35.680
 So I've said to you,

00:15:35.720 --> 00:15:36.820
 I've made the statement

00:15:36.820 --> 00:15:37.659
 that baptism

00:15:37.659 --> 00:15:38.680
 in the Holy Spirit

00:15:38.680 --> 00:15:40.680
 is the same

00:15:40.680 --> 00:15:41.360
 as regeneration.

00:15:42.320 --> 00:15:42.960
 That we're baptized

00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:44.180
 into the church.

00:15:44.580 --> 00:15:45.320
 That if you are

00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:46.240
 a follower of Christ,

00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:47.659
 you have been baptized

00:15:47.659 --> 00:15:48.300
 in the Spirit.

00:15:48.560 --> 00:15:49.320
 So I've made that

00:15:49.320 --> 00:15:49.820
 statement to you.

00:15:50.940 --> 00:15:51.920
 Now I'm saying

00:15:51.919 --> 00:15:54.199
 that at this point,

00:15:54.699 --> 00:15:55.240
 Acts chapter 2,

00:15:55.319 --> 00:15:56.039
 I do not believe

00:15:56.039 --> 00:15:57.039
 that this is when

00:15:57.039 --> 00:15:58.319
 the disciples

00:15:58.319 --> 00:15:59.299
 became believers.

00:15:59.439 --> 00:15:59.899
 This is when

00:15:59.899 --> 00:16:00.479
 they were regenerate.

00:16:00.539 --> 00:16:01.339
 Let me show you why

00:16:01.339 --> 00:16:02.579
 I believe that to be the case.

00:16:02.659 --> 00:16:03.279
 Matthew 16,

00:16:03.339 --> 00:16:04.279
 beginning in verse 13.

00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:05.740
 Now when Jesus came

00:16:05.740 --> 00:16:06.319
 into the district

00:16:06.319 --> 00:16:07.860
 of Caesarea Philippi,

00:16:07.939 --> 00:16:09.099
 He asked His disciples,

00:16:09.899 --> 00:16:10.979
 who do people say

00:16:10.979 --> 00:16:13.279
 that the Son of Man is?

00:16:13.979 --> 00:16:14.899
 And they said,

00:16:14.979 --> 00:16:15.819
 some say John the Baptist,

00:16:15.939 --> 00:16:16.639
 others say Elijah,

00:16:16.740 --> 00:16:17.379
 and others Jeremiah,

00:16:17.500 --> 00:16:18.079
 one of the prophets.

00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:19.139
 He said to them,

00:16:19.139 --> 00:16:21.299
 but who do you say

00:16:21.299 --> 00:16:22.799
 that I am?

00:16:23.939 --> 00:16:25.059
 Simon Peter replied,

00:16:25.319 --> 00:16:27.580
 you are the Christ,

00:16:27.899 --> 00:16:29.939
 the Son of the living God.

00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:31.360
 And Jesus answered him,

00:16:32.120 --> 00:16:33.000
 blessed are you,

00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:34.779
 Simon Barjona,

00:16:34.919 --> 00:16:36.220
 for flesh and blood

00:16:36.220 --> 00:16:38.779
 has not revealed this to you,

00:16:39.220 --> 00:16:40.159
 but my Father

00:16:40.159 --> 00:16:41.500
 who is in heaven.

00:16:42.139 --> 00:16:43.639
 So there's a spiritual work

00:16:43.639 --> 00:16:45.039
 happening at least

00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:46.480
 in the life of Peter

00:16:46.480 --> 00:16:47.379
 at this time.

00:16:47.779 --> 00:16:47.879
 Right?

00:16:47.879 --> 00:16:48.840
 Something has been revealed

00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:51.019
 to him from heaven.

00:16:52.299 --> 00:16:53.039
 I would argue

00:16:53.039 --> 00:16:54.019
 by the Spirit of God.

00:16:54.200 --> 00:16:54.340
 Okay?

00:16:54.340 --> 00:16:54.799
 So there's something

00:16:54.799 --> 00:16:55.559
 happening here.

00:16:55.740 --> 00:16:56.399
 He's believing

00:16:56.399 --> 00:16:58.639
 that Jesus is the Christ.

00:16:58.720 --> 00:17:00.000
 There's some evidence

00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:01.559
 of regeneration

00:17:01.559 --> 00:17:03.000
 at this point.

00:17:03.639 --> 00:17:05.339
 Now turn to John chapter 6.

00:17:05.339 --> 00:17:16.839
 I'm going to begin reading

00:17:16.839 --> 00:17:17.919
 in verse 52.

00:17:19.259 --> 00:17:21.000
 This is after a lengthy teaching

00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:21.859
 of Jesus

00:17:21.859 --> 00:17:23.399
 that he's the bread of life.

00:17:24.339 --> 00:17:25.240
 Verse 52,

00:17:25.539 --> 00:17:26.559
 John records,

00:17:26.659 --> 00:17:27.879
 the Jews then disputed

00:17:27.879 --> 00:17:28.659
 among themselves,

00:17:28.819 --> 00:17:29.159
 saying,

00:17:29.740 --> 00:17:31.000
 how can this man

00:17:31.000 --> 00:17:32.720
 give us his flesh

00:17:32.720 --> 00:17:33.599
 to eat?

00:17:34.159 --> 00:17:34.879
 It's the bread of life.

00:17:34.880 --> 00:17:35.460
 How is it that he's going

00:17:35.460 --> 00:17:36.240
 to actually feed us

00:17:36.240 --> 00:17:38.000
 with his physical body?

00:17:38.500 --> 00:17:39.460
 Which is not what he meant.

00:17:39.580 --> 00:17:40.520
 Jesus goes on to clarify.

00:17:40.660 --> 00:17:41.140
 Verse 53,

00:17:41.140 --> 00:17:42.720
 So Jesus said to them,

00:17:43.220 --> 00:17:44.320
 Truly, truly, I say to you,

00:17:44.400 --> 00:17:45.520
 unless you eat the flesh

00:17:45.520 --> 00:17:46.240
 of the Son of Man

00:17:46.240 --> 00:17:47.200
 and drink his blood,

00:17:47.280 --> 00:17:49.540
 you have no life in you.

00:17:50.200 --> 00:17:51.440
 Whoever feeds on my flesh

00:17:51.440 --> 00:17:52.259
 and drinks my blood

00:17:52.259 --> 00:17:53.140
 has eternal life,

00:17:53.160 --> 00:17:54.140
 and I will raise him up

00:17:54.140 --> 00:17:55.440
 on the last day.

00:17:55.520 --> 00:17:57.240
 For my flesh is true food,

00:17:57.240 --> 00:18:00.620
 and my blood is true drink.

00:18:01.000 --> 00:18:02.320
 Let me pause for just

00:18:02.320 --> 00:18:03.320
 a quick second

00:18:03.320 --> 00:18:05.100
 and speak about

00:18:05.100 --> 00:18:06.520
 transubstantiation,

00:18:06.880 --> 00:18:08.300
 where some believe

00:18:08.299 --> 00:18:09.700
 that the elements

00:18:09.700 --> 00:18:10.259
 of the Lord's Supper

00:18:10.259 --> 00:18:11.059
 actually become

00:18:11.059 --> 00:18:12.000
 the body and blood

00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:12.440
 of Christ,

00:18:12.539 --> 00:18:13.940
 if that's consistent,

00:18:14.559 --> 00:18:15.700
 then they should not

00:18:15.700 --> 00:18:16.180
 have to eat

00:18:16.180 --> 00:18:16.960
 until they do it again.

00:18:18.399 --> 00:18:19.799
 If we're taking this

00:18:19.799 --> 00:18:20.539
 at face value,

00:18:20.619 --> 00:18:21.539
 that he's not speaking

00:18:21.539 --> 00:18:22.919
 metaphorically,

00:18:23.740 --> 00:18:25.740
 then that's fantastic,

00:18:26.159 --> 00:18:27.819
 because food is expensive.

00:18:30.379 --> 00:18:31.180
 Verse 56,

00:18:31.180 --> 00:18:32.400
 Whoever feeds on my flesh

00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:33.120
 and drinks my blood

00:18:33.120 --> 00:18:34.340
 abides in me

00:18:34.340 --> 00:18:35.539
 and I in him.

00:18:36.460 --> 00:18:37.580
 As the living Father

00:18:37.580 --> 00:18:38.120
 sent me,

00:18:38.180 --> 00:18:38.900
 and I live because

00:18:38.900 --> 00:18:39.420
 of the Father,

00:18:39.539 --> 00:18:40.720
 so whoever feeds on me,

00:18:40.799 --> 00:18:41.600
 he also will live

00:18:41.600 --> 00:18:43.039
 because of me.

00:18:43.700 --> 00:18:44.560
 This is the bread

00:18:44.560 --> 00:18:45.640
 that came down from heaven,

00:18:45.640 --> 00:18:46.900
 not like the bread

00:18:46.900 --> 00:18:47.680
 the fathers ate

00:18:47.680 --> 00:18:48.240
 and died.

00:18:48.980 --> 00:18:50.320
 Whoever feeds on this bread

00:18:50.320 --> 00:18:51.900
 will live forever.

00:18:52.920 --> 00:18:53.799
 Jesus said these things

00:18:53.799 --> 00:18:54.259
 in the synagogue

00:18:54.259 --> 00:18:56.400
 as he taught at Capernaum.

00:18:57.120 --> 00:18:59.060
 When many of his disciples

00:18:59.060 --> 00:19:00.100
 heard it,

00:19:00.099 --> 00:19:01.459
 people that are following

00:19:01.459 --> 00:19:02.740
 him around at the time,

00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:03.339
 they said,

00:19:03.500 --> 00:19:05.559
 this is a hard saying.

00:19:06.279 --> 00:19:07.959
 Who can listen to it?

00:19:08.939 --> 00:19:09.539
 But Jesus,

00:19:09.799 --> 00:19:11.019
 knowing in himself

00:19:11.019 --> 00:19:11.799
 that his disciples

00:19:11.799 --> 00:19:13.079
 were grumbling about this,

00:19:13.159 --> 00:19:13.799
 said to them,

00:19:13.959 --> 00:19:15.379
 do you take offense at this?

00:19:16.079 --> 00:19:17.240
 Then what if you were

00:19:17.240 --> 00:19:18.139
 to see the Son of Man

00:19:18.139 --> 00:19:19.339
 ascending to where

00:19:19.339 --> 00:19:20.740
 he was before?

00:19:21.459 --> 00:19:22.619
 It is the Spirit

00:19:22.619 --> 00:19:23.679
 who gives life.

00:19:23.839 --> 00:19:26.059
 The flesh is no help at all.

00:19:26.379 --> 00:19:27.339
 The words that I have spoken

00:19:27.339 --> 00:19:29.919
 to you are spirit and life.

00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:31.699
 But there are some of you

00:19:31.699 --> 00:19:34.539
 who do not believe.

00:19:34.879 --> 00:19:35.480
 So catch,

00:19:35.559 --> 00:19:36.279
 the positive of that

00:19:36.279 --> 00:19:36.859
 negative statement,

00:19:36.939 --> 00:19:37.339
 there are some of you

00:19:37.339 --> 00:19:37.719
 who do not believe,

00:19:37.740 --> 00:19:38.319
 is that some of you

00:19:38.319 --> 00:19:39.500
 do believe.

00:19:39.659 --> 00:19:40.839
 For Jesus knew from the beginning

00:19:40.839 --> 00:19:42.480
 who those were

00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:43.219
 who did not believe

00:19:43.219 --> 00:19:44.240
 and who it was

00:19:44.240 --> 00:19:45.679
 who would betray him.

00:19:46.359 --> 00:19:46.859
 Verse 65,

00:19:47.019 --> 00:19:47.480
 and he said,

00:19:47.980 --> 00:19:49.359
 this is why I told you

00:19:49.359 --> 00:19:51.319
 that no one can come to me

00:19:51.319 --> 00:19:53.179
 unless it is granted him

00:19:53.179 --> 00:19:54.480
 by the Father.

00:19:55.219 --> 00:19:56.219
 So he has said,

00:19:56.879 --> 00:19:57.480
 some of you

00:19:57.480 --> 00:19:58.680
 don't believe,

00:19:59.039 --> 00:20:00.019
 which means some of you

00:20:00.019 --> 00:20:01.039
 do believe,

00:20:01.259 --> 00:20:02.420
 and no one comes to me

00:20:02.420 --> 00:20:03.400
 unless it is granted him

00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:05.120
 by the Father.

00:20:05.220 --> 00:20:05.660
 After this,

00:20:05.740 --> 00:20:06.299
 many of his disciples

00:20:06.299 --> 00:20:07.120
 turned back

00:20:07.120 --> 00:20:08.579
 and no longer

00:20:08.579 --> 00:20:09.680
 walked with him.

00:20:09.980 --> 00:20:10.660
 A bunch of them

00:20:10.660 --> 00:20:11.220
 bugged out.

00:20:11.339 --> 00:20:12.819
 So Jesus said to the twelve,

00:20:13.339 --> 00:20:14.660
 do you want to go away

00:20:14.660 --> 00:20:15.460
 as well?

00:20:16.299 --> 00:20:18.140
 Simon Peter answered him,

00:20:18.539 --> 00:20:18.920
 Lord,

00:20:19.140 --> 00:20:20.599
 to whom shall we go?

00:20:21.120 --> 00:20:22.400
 You have the words

00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:23.440
 of eternal life

00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:25.280
 and we have believed

00:20:25.280 --> 00:20:26.540
 and have come to know

00:20:26.540 --> 00:20:27.540
 that you

00:20:27.540 --> 00:20:29.120
 are the Holy One

00:20:29.120 --> 00:20:30.540
 of God.

00:20:31.120 --> 00:20:31.840
 So again,

00:20:32.320 --> 00:20:33.140
 evidencing,

00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:34.019
 there's a profession

00:20:34.019 --> 00:20:34.880
 once again

00:20:34.880 --> 00:20:36.860
 of who Jesus is.

00:20:37.060 --> 00:20:39.800
 At this hard-to-understand thing.

00:20:40.460 --> 00:20:41.300
 It's not that the disciples

00:20:41.300 --> 00:20:41.740
 were brilliant

00:20:41.740 --> 00:20:42.700
 and they figured it out.

00:20:42.740 --> 00:20:43.380
 It was that the Father

00:20:43.380 --> 00:20:44.500
 had drawn them

00:20:44.500 --> 00:20:45.920
 to Christ.

00:20:46.240 --> 00:20:46.820
 Like, they're still

00:20:46.820 --> 00:20:47.660
 scratching their heads

00:20:47.660 --> 00:20:48.759
 just like the other disciples,

00:20:48.880 --> 00:20:49.420
 but the other ones

00:20:49.420 --> 00:20:50.680
 go away scratching their heads.

00:20:51.080 --> 00:20:51.780
 They stay

00:20:51.779 --> 00:20:52.920
 and Peter says,

00:20:53.359 --> 00:20:55.420
 you are the Holy One

00:20:55.420 --> 00:20:56.519
 of God.

00:20:56.879 --> 00:20:57.619
 So there's a work

00:20:57.619 --> 00:20:59.339
 happening in their lives

00:20:59.339 --> 00:21:01.180
 while they're with Jesus.

00:21:02.359 --> 00:21:03.339
 John 20,

00:21:03.859 --> 00:21:04.899
 21 and 22,

00:21:04.980 --> 00:21:05.399
 you can turn there

00:21:05.399 --> 00:21:05.920
 if you want to,

00:21:05.980 --> 00:21:06.740
 but I'm going to get into it

00:21:06.740 --> 00:21:07.519
 for the sake of time.

00:21:07.599 --> 00:21:08.099
 Verse 21,

00:21:08.980 --> 00:21:10.819
 Jesus said to them again,

00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:12.139
 after His resurrection,

00:21:12.379 --> 00:21:13.440
 peace be with you.

00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:15.720
 As the Father has sent me,

00:21:15.920 --> 00:21:16.779
 even so,

00:21:17.119 --> 00:21:19.519
 I am sending you.

00:21:20.139 --> 00:21:21.440
 And when He had said this,

00:21:21.440 --> 00:21:22.920
 He breathed on them

00:21:22.920 --> 00:21:24.480
 and said to them,

00:21:25.120 --> 00:21:28.380
 receive the Holy Spirit.

00:21:30.840 --> 00:21:31.640
 I must admit,

00:21:31.700 --> 00:21:32.539
 I don't fully comprehend

00:21:32.539 --> 00:21:33.840
 what is happening

00:21:33.840 --> 00:21:34.740
 right here

00:21:34.740 --> 00:21:35.980
 in John 20,

00:21:36.019 --> 00:21:36.640
 21 and 22.

00:21:36.740 --> 00:21:38.559
 I don't fully comprehend it

00:21:38.559 --> 00:21:39.840
 because later we see

00:21:39.840 --> 00:21:40.820
 in the book of Acts,

00:21:40.860 --> 00:21:41.660
 He's telling them to

00:21:41.660 --> 00:21:43.480
 stay and wait for what?

00:21:44.440 --> 00:21:46.080
 For the Holy Spirit.

00:21:46.279 --> 00:21:47.580
 He's suggesting to them,

00:21:47.700 --> 00:21:48.279
 don't get going

00:21:48.279 --> 00:21:49.279
 on the mission yet.

00:21:49.279 --> 00:21:50.879
 kind of spoken the mission,

00:21:50.980 --> 00:21:51.420
 the Great Commission

00:21:51.420 --> 00:21:52.160
 has been given to you.

00:21:52.220 --> 00:21:53.180
 Don't get going on that yet

00:21:53.180 --> 00:21:53.879
 because you need

00:21:53.879 --> 00:21:55.059
 the power of God

00:21:55.059 --> 00:21:55.899
 to carry out

00:21:55.899 --> 00:21:56.940
 the purpose of God.

00:21:57.139 --> 00:21:57.660
 But here,

00:21:58.660 --> 00:21:59.639
 something happens.

00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:01.579
 And Jesus says to them,

00:22:01.839 --> 00:22:03.079
 receive the Holy Spirit

00:22:03.079 --> 00:22:05.160
 as He breathes on them.

00:22:05.980 --> 00:22:06.119
 Okay?

00:22:06.859 --> 00:22:08.019
 So what's important here

00:22:08.019 --> 00:22:09.500
 is to remember

00:22:09.500 --> 00:22:11.899
 that as we read

00:22:11.899 --> 00:22:12.899
 these historical accounts,

00:22:13.000 --> 00:22:13.279
 we're observing

00:22:13.279 --> 00:22:15.079
 a transition

00:22:15.079 --> 00:22:17.399
 between the two economies

00:22:17.399 --> 00:22:18.819
 of the Holy Spirit.

00:22:20.279 --> 00:22:21.559
 In the Old Testament

00:22:21.559 --> 00:22:23.279
 and up until this time

00:22:23.279 --> 00:22:24.559
 where we're looking

00:22:24.559 --> 00:22:25.339
 in Acts chapter 2,

00:22:25.500 --> 00:22:26.559
 this point in history,

00:22:26.759 --> 00:22:28.099
 this day of Pentecost,

00:22:29.099 --> 00:22:30.559
 He came and He rested

00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:31.299
 on men

00:22:31.299 --> 00:22:33.399
 to empower them

00:22:33.399 --> 00:22:35.000
 for specific tasks

00:22:35.000 --> 00:22:36.599
 at specific times.

00:22:36.699 --> 00:22:37.480
 And then He would depart.

00:22:38.259 --> 00:22:39.079
 That was the way

00:22:39.079 --> 00:22:40.139
 the Spirit worked

00:22:40.139 --> 00:22:42.119
 in the old economy

00:22:42.119 --> 00:22:42.679
 of the Spirit.

00:22:42.779 --> 00:22:43.240
 He would come,

00:22:43.319 --> 00:22:44.000
 He was given by God,

00:22:44.000 --> 00:22:44.839
 He would come,

00:22:45.299 --> 00:22:45.839
 rest on somebody

00:22:45.839 --> 00:22:46.660
 for a specific task

00:22:46.660 --> 00:22:47.460
 at a specific time

00:22:47.460 --> 00:22:49.380
 and then would be removed.

00:22:50.319 --> 00:22:50.400
 Okay?

00:22:51.200 --> 00:22:51.640
 Now,

00:22:53.220 --> 00:22:54.000
 in starting here,

00:22:54.079 --> 00:22:55.500
 Acts 2 and moving forward,

00:22:55.579 --> 00:22:57.000
 He comes and indwells

00:22:57.700 --> 00:22:59.799
 a follower of Christ

00:22:59.799 --> 00:23:01.339
 and empowers them

00:23:01.339 --> 00:23:03.420
 for a specific task.

00:23:03.779 --> 00:23:03.960
 Right?

00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:04.960
 That is the exaltation

00:23:04.960 --> 00:23:05.799
 of Jesus Christ

00:23:05.799 --> 00:23:07.359
 all of the time.

00:23:08.220 --> 00:23:08.980
 You see the difference?

00:23:09.579 --> 00:23:10.339
 Specific tasks

00:23:10.339 --> 00:23:11.859
 for a specific period of time.

00:23:12.059 --> 00:23:12.339
 Now,

00:23:12.339 --> 00:23:13.819
 for a specific task,

00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:15.339
 all of the time.

00:23:15.500 --> 00:23:16.200
 He indwells

00:23:16.200 --> 00:23:17.519
 within us.

00:23:17.599 --> 00:23:18.460
 He doesn't come and go.

00:23:18.859 --> 00:23:19.599
 He is ours.

00:23:21.220 --> 00:23:21.619
 So,

00:23:21.680 --> 00:23:22.200
 I do not think

00:23:22.200 --> 00:23:22.819
 that the promise

00:23:22.819 --> 00:23:23.819
 in chapter 1,

00:23:23.859 --> 00:23:24.660
 verse 5 of Acts,

00:23:25.259 --> 00:23:25.880
 that the disciples

00:23:25.880 --> 00:23:26.579
 will be baptized

00:23:26.579 --> 00:23:27.420
 with the Holy Spirit

00:23:27.420 --> 00:23:28.940
 not many days from now,

00:23:29.539 --> 00:23:30.380
 and the fact

00:23:30.380 --> 00:23:31.039
 that they were all

00:23:31.039 --> 00:23:32.200
 filled with the Holy Spirit

00:23:32.200 --> 00:23:32.779
 in 2,

00:23:32.920 --> 00:23:33.559
 4

00:23:33.559 --> 00:23:34.859
 are synonymous,

00:23:35.500 --> 00:23:37.079
 but rather that both happen.

00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:37.619
 This is what I was

00:23:37.619 --> 00:23:38.819
 suggesting to you before.

00:23:38.819 --> 00:23:40.379
 It's an interesting

00:23:40.379 --> 00:23:41.480
 in-between time.

00:23:42.159 --> 00:23:43.279
 And it's hard

00:23:43.279 --> 00:23:44.200
 for us to comprehend.

00:23:44.419 --> 00:23:44.819
 And that's why

00:23:44.819 --> 00:23:46.740
 we must let Scripture

00:23:46.740 --> 00:23:48.619
 interpret Scripture.

00:23:49.240 --> 00:23:50.379
 We have to pull

00:23:50.379 --> 00:23:51.899
 the rest of the account

00:23:51.899 --> 00:23:52.559
 together.

00:23:52.919 --> 00:23:53.819
 We have to look

00:23:53.819 --> 00:23:54.599
 at the rest

00:23:54.599 --> 00:23:55.439
 of the writing

00:23:55.439 --> 00:23:56.960
 to try to properly

00:23:56.960 --> 00:23:58.159
 suss out

00:23:58.159 --> 00:23:59.079
 what this means

00:23:59.079 --> 00:24:00.619
 for us.

00:24:00.619 --> 00:24:03.739
 What happened,

00:24:03.819 --> 00:24:04.159
 I think,

00:24:04.199 --> 00:24:04.699
 is that both

00:24:04.699 --> 00:24:05.599
 happened at this time.

00:24:05.699 --> 00:24:06.079
 They were baptized

00:24:06.079 --> 00:24:06.959
 into the church.

00:24:07.299 --> 00:24:08.199
 They were unified

00:24:08.199 --> 00:24:09.299
 by the gift

00:24:09.299 --> 00:24:09.839
 of the Spirit.

00:24:10.879 --> 00:24:11.979
 And they were filled

00:24:11.979 --> 00:24:13.159
 with the Holy Spirit,

00:24:13.739 --> 00:24:14.779
 which empowers them

00:24:14.779 --> 00:24:15.379
 for speaking

00:24:15.379 --> 00:24:16.500
 the mighty works

00:24:16.500 --> 00:24:17.119
 of God,

00:24:17.219 --> 00:24:17.799
 verse 11,

00:24:18.119 --> 00:24:19.359
 in other tongues

00:24:19.359 --> 00:24:20.319
 as the Spirit

00:24:20.319 --> 00:24:22.559
 gave them utterance.

00:24:23.079 --> 00:24:23.899
 So they were filled

00:24:23.899 --> 00:24:24.459
 with the Spirit,

00:24:24.459 --> 00:24:25.739
 which is evidenced

00:24:25.739 --> 00:24:27.239
 by their obedience.

00:24:27.879 --> 00:24:28.859
 They began to do

00:24:28.859 --> 00:24:29.659
 the very thing

00:24:29.660 --> 00:24:31.240
 that Jesus had instructed

00:24:31.240 --> 00:24:32.040
 them to do

00:24:32.040 --> 00:24:32.980
 many times.

00:24:33.300 --> 00:24:34.240
 Certainly you can find it

00:24:34.240 --> 00:24:35.140
 in chapter 1,

00:24:35.300 --> 00:24:36.340
 verse 8.

00:24:36.420 --> 00:24:37.980
 You will be my witnesses.

00:24:38.259 --> 00:24:38.680
 Jerusalem,

00:24:38.960 --> 00:24:39.300
 Judea,

00:24:39.420 --> 00:24:39.800
 Samaria,

00:24:40.640 --> 00:24:41.000
 and to the end

00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:41.440
 of the earth.

00:24:41.560 --> 00:24:42.720
 They just begin

00:24:42.720 --> 00:24:43.540
 to do the thing

00:24:43.540 --> 00:24:44.100
 that God

00:24:44.100 --> 00:24:45.759
 had commanded them

00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:46.800
 to do.

00:24:48.220 --> 00:24:49.019
 To sum that up,

00:24:49.980 --> 00:24:50.860
 what it means

00:24:50.860 --> 00:24:51.860
 to be baptized

00:24:51.860 --> 00:24:54.220
 by the Spirit

00:24:54.220 --> 00:24:55.440
 is to be regenerate.

00:24:55.860 --> 00:24:57.259
 To be saved by God

00:24:57.259 --> 00:24:58.000
 and welcomed

00:24:58.000 --> 00:24:58.960
 into the church.

00:24:58.960 --> 00:25:00.200
 This is a one-time thing.

00:25:00.680 --> 00:25:01.819
 It is solely

00:25:01.819 --> 00:25:02.880
 the work of God.

00:25:02.960 --> 00:25:03.980
 It's monergistic

00:25:03.980 --> 00:25:04.759
 in that way.

00:25:05.120 --> 00:25:06.120
 He puts His Spirit

00:25:06.120 --> 00:25:07.039
 within you.

00:25:07.500 --> 00:25:08.519
 He changes you.

00:25:08.860 --> 00:25:09.759
 This brings about

00:25:09.759 --> 00:25:10.200
 repentance,

00:25:10.920 --> 00:25:11.259
 faith,

00:25:11.960 --> 00:25:12.420
 obedience.

00:25:12.940 --> 00:25:14.019
 That's baptized

00:25:14.019 --> 00:25:14.700
 in the Spirit.

00:25:15.279 --> 00:25:15.440
 Okay,

00:25:15.519 --> 00:25:16.059
 second question.

00:25:17.460 --> 00:25:18.240
 I'm going to try

00:25:18.240 --> 00:25:18.840
 to pull it together

00:25:18.840 --> 00:25:19.480
 all for you.

00:25:19.600 --> 00:25:20.180
 What is meant

00:25:20.180 --> 00:25:22.200
 by they were all

00:25:22.200 --> 00:25:22.860
 filled

00:25:22.860 --> 00:25:24.100
 with the Holy Spirit

00:25:24.100 --> 00:25:25.340
 in chapter 2,

00:25:26.079 --> 00:25:26.660
 verse 4?

00:25:26.660 --> 00:25:27.100
 Now,

00:25:27.200 --> 00:25:28.120
 in the past weeks,

00:25:28.380 --> 00:25:28.779
 and I apologize

00:25:28.779 --> 00:25:29.360
 for those of you

00:25:29.360 --> 00:25:30.120
 who haven't been here,

00:25:30.480 --> 00:25:31.620
 but I've been priming

00:25:31.620 --> 00:25:32.300
 the pump

00:25:32.300 --> 00:25:33.920
 to answer this question.

00:25:34.620 --> 00:25:36.040
 I've been setting you up

00:25:36.040 --> 00:25:36.560
 for the answer

00:25:36.560 --> 00:25:37.580
 to this question

00:25:37.580 --> 00:25:39.400
 by reminding you

00:25:39.400 --> 00:25:40.860
 one of our goals

00:25:40.860 --> 00:25:41.340
 for the study

00:25:41.340 --> 00:25:42.060
 of the book of Acts.

00:25:42.220 --> 00:25:43.120
 Goal number 3.

00:25:43.779 --> 00:25:44.259
 To pay

00:25:44.259 --> 00:25:45.900
 careful attentions

00:25:45.900 --> 00:25:47.420
 to the means

00:25:47.420 --> 00:25:48.920
 and ways

00:25:48.920 --> 00:25:50.620
 of the Holy Spirit.

00:25:50.619 --> 00:25:52.699
 And I've been telling you

00:25:52.699 --> 00:25:54.239
 that the primary role

00:25:54.239 --> 00:25:55.759
 of the Spirit of God

00:25:55.759 --> 00:25:57.559
 is the exaltation

00:25:57.559 --> 00:25:58.899
 of Jesus Christ

00:25:58.899 --> 00:26:00.399
 in the salvation

00:26:00.399 --> 00:26:01.759
 and perfection

00:26:01.759 --> 00:26:03.239
 of His church.

00:26:03.819 --> 00:26:05.559
 This is job number one.

00:26:05.639 --> 00:26:06.279
 There are other things

00:26:06.279 --> 00:26:07.239
 that the Spirit of God does,

00:26:07.479 --> 00:26:08.459
 but this is job number one.

00:26:08.500 --> 00:26:09.179
 The exaltation

00:26:09.179 --> 00:26:09.919
 of Jesus Christ

00:26:09.919 --> 00:26:11.039
 in the salvation

00:26:11.039 --> 00:26:12.279
 and perfection

00:26:12.279 --> 00:26:13.099
 of His church.

00:26:13.359 --> 00:26:14.599
 And the primary means

00:26:14.599 --> 00:26:16.299
 by which He accomplishes this

00:26:16.299 --> 00:26:18.200
 is the Word of God

00:26:18.200 --> 00:26:19.339
 spoken

00:26:19.339 --> 00:26:21.220
 by the people of God.

00:26:21.779 --> 00:26:22.539
 He empowers

00:26:22.539 --> 00:26:23.500
 that activity.

00:26:23.899 --> 00:26:24.680
 The Word of God

00:26:24.680 --> 00:26:25.480
 spoken

00:26:25.480 --> 00:26:27.240
 by the people of God.

00:26:27.680 --> 00:26:28.740
 In our text today,

00:26:28.879 --> 00:26:30.399
 we see the first record

00:26:30.399 --> 00:26:31.559
 of those ways.

00:26:32.279 --> 00:26:33.619
 Speaking the Word of God

00:26:33.619 --> 00:26:35.599
 in a rather miraculous way.

00:26:35.779 --> 00:26:36.960
 In languages

00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:37.879
 that these people

00:26:37.879 --> 00:26:40.000
 could understand.

00:26:40.960 --> 00:26:41.980
 I've also

00:26:41.980 --> 00:26:43.740
 tried to prime you

00:26:43.740 --> 00:26:44.480
 for the answer

00:26:44.480 --> 00:26:45.319
 I'm working toward

00:26:45.319 --> 00:26:46.299
 by showing you

00:26:46.299 --> 00:26:46.899
 that the disciples

00:26:46.899 --> 00:26:48.119
 were not gathered

00:26:48.119 --> 00:26:49.099
 in this place

00:26:49.099 --> 00:26:51.679
 praying for the baptism

00:26:51.679 --> 00:26:52.559
 or for the filling

00:26:52.559 --> 00:26:53.319
 of the Holy Spirit.

00:26:53.419 --> 00:26:54.059
 And I'm not suggesting

00:26:54.059 --> 00:26:54.899
 that we can't pray

00:26:54.899 --> 00:26:55.259
 for the filling

00:26:55.259 --> 00:26:55.720
 of the Holy Spirit.

00:26:55.779 --> 00:26:56.379
 What I'm saying is

00:26:56.379 --> 00:26:57.579
 they weren't working out

00:26:57.579 --> 00:26:58.319
 some training.

00:26:58.599 --> 00:26:59.299
 They hadn't attended

00:26:59.299 --> 00:27:00.059
 some seminar

00:27:00.059 --> 00:27:01.159
 that taught them

00:27:01.159 --> 00:27:02.000
 if you just do

00:27:02.000 --> 00:27:03.099
 the following steps

00:27:03.099 --> 00:27:05.379
 then this will happen.

00:27:06.579 --> 00:27:07.139
 So it's not

00:27:07.139 --> 00:27:08.679
 the way in which

00:27:08.679 --> 00:27:10.119
 God sends the Spirit

00:27:10.119 --> 00:27:12.659
 or fills us

00:27:12.659 --> 00:27:14.039
 by the Spirit.

00:27:14.039 --> 00:27:15.720
 If you look at

00:27:15.720 --> 00:27:19.279
 chapter 2 verse 2

00:27:19.279 --> 00:27:21.139
 Luke records for us

00:27:21.139 --> 00:27:22.359
 they're in a house

00:27:22.359 --> 00:27:23.839
 and they're sitting.

00:27:24.940 --> 00:27:26.039
 Why would he record

00:27:26.039 --> 00:27:27.659
 such an obtuse detail?

00:27:27.740 --> 00:27:28.339
 Because it's not.

00:27:29.159 --> 00:27:29.799
 He's telling us

00:27:29.799 --> 00:27:30.359
 that they were sitting

00:27:30.359 --> 00:27:31.299
 because that's not

00:27:31.299 --> 00:27:31.920
 the way they would have

00:27:31.920 --> 00:27:33.099
 been praying.

00:27:34.240 --> 00:27:34.899
 They're sitting

00:27:34.899 --> 00:27:35.500
 and this thing

00:27:35.500 --> 00:27:36.460
 surprised them.

00:27:37.099 --> 00:27:37.659
 They're baptized

00:27:37.659 --> 00:27:40.480
 and they're filled.

00:27:40.480 --> 00:27:42.779
 So I've been

00:27:42.779 --> 00:27:43.360
 priming you

00:27:43.360 --> 00:27:44.360
 to rightly understand

00:27:44.360 --> 00:27:45.319
 what is happening here

00:27:45.319 --> 00:27:45.980
 and therefore

00:27:45.980 --> 00:27:47.259
 what this means

00:27:47.259 --> 00:27:47.960
 for us

00:27:47.960 --> 00:27:49.400
 by speaking

00:27:49.400 --> 00:27:50.579
 against

00:27:50.579 --> 00:27:52.180
 kind of

00:27:52.180 --> 00:27:53.319
 subversively

00:27:53.319 --> 00:27:54.839
 a popular belief

00:27:54.839 --> 00:27:55.500
 in our day

00:27:55.500 --> 00:27:56.480
 called

00:27:56.480 --> 00:27:58.039
 Pentecostalism.

00:27:59.720 --> 00:28:01.279
 Many, many

00:28:01.279 --> 00:28:02.759
 Pentecostal

00:28:02.759 --> 00:28:04.259
 denominations.

00:28:04.259 --> 00:28:06.640
 And I'm going to

00:28:06.640 --> 00:28:07.599
 paint with a broad brush.

00:28:08.099 --> 00:28:08.940
 I know people

00:28:08.940 --> 00:28:09.640
 who are part of

00:28:09.640 --> 00:28:11.059
 Pentecostal denominations

00:28:11.059 --> 00:28:11.859
 that are

00:28:11.859 --> 00:28:13.240
 to be admired.

00:28:13.879 --> 00:28:14.859
 They get so

00:28:14.859 --> 00:28:15.839
 much

00:28:15.839 --> 00:28:16.640
 so

00:28:16.640 --> 00:28:17.579
 right.

00:28:18.299 --> 00:28:18.960
 There are

00:28:18.960 --> 00:28:20.140
 some things

00:28:20.140 --> 00:28:21.460
 that we can

00:28:21.460 --> 00:28:22.619
 learn from

00:28:22.619 --> 00:28:24.019
 and benefit

00:28:24.019 --> 00:28:24.700
 from

00:28:24.700 --> 00:28:26.099
 Pentecostal

00:28:26.099 --> 00:28:26.599
 some

00:28:26.599 --> 00:28:27.200
 things

00:28:27.200 --> 00:28:28.720
 about the work

00:28:28.720 --> 00:28:29.200
 of the Spirit

00:28:29.200 --> 00:28:30.160
 of God.

00:28:31.200 --> 00:28:32.140
 But generally

00:28:32.140 --> 00:28:32.880
 speaking

00:28:32.880 --> 00:28:34.240
 broad brush

00:28:34.240 --> 00:28:34.580
 hear me

00:28:34.580 --> 00:28:35.340
 with humility

00:28:35.340 --> 00:28:36.100
 saying this

00:28:36.100 --> 00:28:36.720
 I don't pretend

00:28:36.720 --> 00:28:37.280
 to have it all

00:28:37.280 --> 00:28:37.840
 figured out.

00:28:38.280 --> 00:28:39.200
 I know there's

00:28:39.200 --> 00:28:39.840
 so much

00:28:39.840 --> 00:28:40.740
 that I don't

00:28:40.740 --> 00:28:41.140
 know

00:28:41.140 --> 00:28:42.259
 but with a

00:28:42.259 --> 00:28:43.100
 broad brush

00:28:43.100 --> 00:28:44.560
 Pentecostalism

00:28:44.560 --> 00:28:45.759
 is dangerous.

00:28:49.280 --> 00:28:50.259
 In order to be

00:28:50.259 --> 00:28:51.100
 known for what

00:28:51.100 --> 00:28:52.060
 I'm for

00:28:52.060 --> 00:28:52.920
 which is

00:28:52.920 --> 00:28:53.900
 ultimately my

00:28:53.900 --> 00:28:54.240
 aim

00:28:54.240 --> 00:28:55.040
 and I want you

00:28:55.040 --> 00:28:55.500
 to know

00:28:55.500 --> 00:28:56.720
 what I believe

00:28:56.720 --> 00:28:57.640
 to be true

00:28:57.640 --> 00:28:58.740
 at times

00:28:58.740 --> 00:28:59.880
 I need to tell

00:28:59.880 --> 00:29:00.259
 you what I'm

00:29:00.259 --> 00:29:00.620
 against.

00:29:01.240 --> 00:29:01.640
 It just

00:29:01.640 --> 00:29:02.520
 helps to say

00:29:02.520 --> 00:29:03.500
 not this

00:29:03.500 --> 00:29:04.660
 but this

00:29:04.660 --> 00:29:06.080
 at times

00:29:06.080 --> 00:29:07.160
 to do that.

00:29:07.860 --> 00:29:08.460
 So hear what I'm

00:29:08.460 --> 00:29:08.880
 trying to say to you.

00:29:08.980 --> 00:29:09.660
 I'm humbly

00:29:09.660 --> 00:29:10.500
 just trying to show

00:29:10.500 --> 00:29:11.000
 you what the

00:29:11.000 --> 00:29:11.360
 Word of God

00:29:11.360 --> 00:29:12.040
 has to say

00:29:12.040 --> 00:29:12.500
 about the

00:29:12.500 --> 00:29:12.880
 filling

00:29:12.880 --> 00:29:14.020
 and the

00:29:14.020 --> 00:29:14.400
 baptism

00:29:14.400 --> 00:29:15.740
 of the

00:29:15.740 --> 00:29:16.300
 Holy Spirit.

00:29:17.480 --> 00:29:17.900
 I'm

00:29:17.900 --> 00:29:20.340
 anti-Pentecostalism

00:29:20.340 --> 00:29:21.180
 because

00:29:21.180 --> 00:29:23.680
 generally

00:29:23.680 --> 00:29:24.880
 it's not

00:29:24.880 --> 00:29:25.180
 biblical.

00:29:27.100 --> 00:29:28.060
 They use

00:29:28.060 --> 00:29:29.680
 extra-biblical

00:29:29.680 --> 00:29:31.820
 and unbiblical

00:29:31.820 --> 00:29:32.680
 language

00:29:32.680 --> 00:29:33.860
 to speak

00:29:33.860 --> 00:29:35.100
 of a second

00:29:35.100 --> 00:29:35.740
 experience

00:29:35.740 --> 00:29:36.380
 of the Christian

00:29:36.380 --> 00:29:36.860
 faith

00:29:36.860 --> 00:29:37.500
 called

00:29:37.500 --> 00:29:38.480
 baptism

00:29:38.480 --> 00:29:39.460
 in the

00:29:39.460 --> 00:29:39.640
 Spirit.

00:29:39.740 --> 00:29:40.100
 This is why

00:29:40.100 --> 00:29:40.539
 I started.

00:29:40.660 --> 00:29:41.140
 What is the

00:29:41.140 --> 00:29:41.420
 baptism

00:29:41.420 --> 00:29:42.180
 of the

00:29:42.180 --> 00:29:42.420
 Spirit?

00:29:42.620 --> 00:29:43.140
 They use this

00:29:43.140 --> 00:29:44.140
 term in a

00:29:44.140 --> 00:29:45.140
 much different

00:29:45.140 --> 00:29:45.400
 way.

00:29:45.480 --> 00:29:46.160
 A second

00:29:46.160 --> 00:29:47.160
 experience

00:29:47.160 --> 00:29:48.200
 of an

00:29:48.200 --> 00:29:48.759
 indwelling,

00:29:48.900 --> 00:29:49.539
 of a pouring

00:29:49.539 --> 00:29:50.660
 out of the

00:29:50.660 --> 00:29:51.680
 Spirit of

00:29:51.680 --> 00:29:52.019
 God.

00:29:52.019 --> 00:29:53.060
 At best

00:29:53.060 --> 00:29:53.600
 they use

00:29:53.600 --> 00:29:54.039
 this

00:29:54.039 --> 00:29:55.880
 to divide

00:29:55.880 --> 00:29:57.060
 saved people

00:29:57.059 --> 00:29:58.039
 into two

00:29:58.039 --> 00:29:58.659
 classes.

00:30:00.059 --> 00:30:00.299
 So you've

00:30:00.299 --> 00:30:00.460
 got

00:30:00.460 --> 00:30:01.480
 unsaved

00:30:01.480 --> 00:30:01.899
 people,

00:30:02.000 --> 00:30:02.279
 people who

00:30:02.279 --> 00:30:02.599
 have not

00:30:02.599 --> 00:30:03.159
 placed faith

00:30:03.159 --> 00:30:03.500
 in Jesus

00:30:03.500 --> 00:30:03.919
 Christ

00:30:03.919 --> 00:30:04.919
 as a

00:30:04.919 --> 00:30:05.319
 separate

00:30:05.319 --> 00:30:06.019
 category.

00:30:06.419 --> 00:30:07.039
 Then saved

00:30:07.039 --> 00:30:07.460
 people,

00:30:07.619 --> 00:30:08.159
 they divide

00:30:08.159 --> 00:30:09.399
 into two

00:30:09.399 --> 00:30:10.460
 classes.

00:30:11.779 --> 00:30:12.539
 Those

00:30:12.539 --> 00:30:13.240
 who are

00:30:13.240 --> 00:30:13.599
 ordinary

00:30:13.599 --> 00:30:14.139
 Christians

00:30:14.139 --> 00:30:15.919
 and those

00:30:15.919 --> 00:30:16.419
 who are

00:30:16.419 --> 00:30:17.659
 Spirit-baptized

00:30:17.659 --> 00:30:18.839
 Christians.

00:30:19.779 --> 00:30:20.460
 This is

00:30:20.460 --> 00:30:20.759
 dangerous,

00:30:20.879 --> 00:30:21.039
 beloved.

00:30:21.159 --> 00:30:21.539
 This is not

00:30:21.539 --> 00:30:22.119
 the nature

00:30:22.119 --> 00:30:23.339
 of sanctification.

00:30:24.000 --> 00:30:24.220
 You are

00:30:24.220 --> 00:30:24.819
 not in

00:30:24.819 --> 00:30:25.960
 Christ or

00:30:25.960 --> 00:30:26.640
 you are

00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:27.180
 in Christ.

00:30:27.380 --> 00:30:27.660
 These are

00:30:27.660 --> 00:30:28.220
 the categories.

00:30:28.480 --> 00:30:29.079
 This is

00:30:29.079 --> 00:30:29.400
 the way

00:30:29.400 --> 00:30:30.180
 that the

00:30:30.180 --> 00:30:30.500
 Scripture

00:30:30.500 --> 00:30:31.360
 speaks about

00:30:31.360 --> 00:30:31.480
 it.

00:30:31.539 --> 00:30:31.960
 It does

00:30:31.960 --> 00:30:32.700
 not divide

00:30:32.700 --> 00:30:33.140
 believing

00:30:33.140 --> 00:30:34.120
 people into

00:30:34.120 --> 00:30:34.940
 two

00:30:34.940 --> 00:30:36.140
 categories.

00:30:36.900 --> 00:30:37.420
 We have

00:30:37.420 --> 00:30:38.299
 gifting

00:30:38.299 --> 00:30:39.299
 in various

00:30:39.299 --> 00:30:40.700
 form and

00:30:40.700 --> 00:30:41.299
 in various

00:30:41.299 --> 00:30:42.140
 measure.

00:30:42.640 --> 00:30:42.799
 We are

00:30:42.799 --> 00:30:43.180
 at different

00:30:43.180 --> 00:30:44.160
 places in

00:30:44.160 --> 00:30:44.980
 the sanctification

00:30:44.980 --> 00:30:45.700
 process.

00:30:46.059 --> 00:30:46.220
 There are

00:30:46.220 --> 00:30:46.620
 some that

00:30:46.620 --> 00:30:46.900
 are more

00:30:46.900 --> 00:30:47.559
 mature than

00:30:47.559 --> 00:30:47.920
 others,

00:30:48.059 --> 00:30:48.600
 but we

00:30:48.600 --> 00:30:49.000
 are not

00:30:49.000 --> 00:30:49.860
 classified

00:30:49.860 --> 00:30:50.579
 into

00:30:50.579 --> 00:30:50.980
 different

00:30:50.980 --> 00:30:51.720
 categories.

00:30:51.880 --> 00:30:52.140
 There is

00:30:52.140 --> 00:30:53.039
 no clergy

00:30:53.039 --> 00:30:53.900
 laity type

00:30:53.900 --> 00:30:54.440
 of distinction

00:30:54.440 --> 00:30:55.440
 amongst the

00:30:55.440 --> 00:30:56.200
 people of

00:30:56.200 --> 00:30:56.420
 God.

00:30:56.640 --> 00:30:57.400
 At best,

00:30:57.680 --> 00:30:58.040
 that's what

00:30:58.040 --> 00:30:58.360
 it does.

00:30:58.440 --> 00:30:59.200
 At worst,

00:30:59.800 --> 00:31:00.560
 many Pentecostals

00:31:00.560 --> 00:31:01.440
 believe that

00:31:01.440 --> 00:31:02.300
 unless you

00:31:02.300 --> 00:31:03.360
 do miraculous

00:31:03.360 --> 00:31:04.480
 things like

00:31:04.480 --> 00:31:04.980
 speak in

00:31:04.980 --> 00:31:05.380
 tongues,

00:31:05.560 --> 00:31:05.860
 that you're

00:31:05.860 --> 00:31:06.500
 not saved

00:31:06.500 --> 00:31:07.240
 at all.

00:31:09.440 --> 00:31:10.280
 They often

00:31:10.280 --> 00:31:11.259
 elevate,

00:31:11.420 --> 00:31:11.880
 often,

00:31:11.960 --> 00:31:12.420
 not always,

00:31:12.500 --> 00:31:12.700
 but they

00:31:12.700 --> 00:31:13.540
 often elevate

00:31:13.540 --> 00:31:14.400
 mindless

00:31:14.400 --> 00:31:15.600
 experience

00:31:15.600 --> 00:31:16.820
 over

00:31:16.820 --> 00:31:18.380
 the Scripture.

00:31:19.860 --> 00:31:20.540
 John Arnott,

00:31:20.700 --> 00:31:21.660
 a popular

00:31:21.660 --> 00:31:22.640
 Pentecostal

00:31:22.640 --> 00:31:22.960
 writer,

00:31:23.680 --> 00:31:24.120
 wrote,

00:31:24.940 --> 00:31:25.580
 do not

00:31:25.580 --> 00:31:26.020
 take

00:31:26.020 --> 00:31:26.800
 control,

00:31:27.340 --> 00:31:28.000
 do not

00:31:28.000 --> 00:31:28.620
 resist,

00:31:29.120 --> 00:31:29.680
 do not

00:31:29.680 --> 00:31:30.740
 analyze,

00:31:31.400 --> 00:31:31.960
 don't think

00:31:31.960 --> 00:31:32.360
 about what

00:31:32.360 --> 00:31:32.800
 you're doing,

00:31:33.040 --> 00:31:33.960
 just surrender

00:31:33.960 --> 00:31:34.960
 to his

00:31:34.960 --> 00:31:35.340
 love.

00:31:35.780 --> 00:31:36.200
 You can

00:31:36.200 --> 00:31:37.100
 analyze the

00:31:37.100 --> 00:31:37.759
 experience

00:31:37.759 --> 00:31:38.180
 later,

00:31:38.340 --> 00:31:39.500
 just let

00:31:39.500 --> 00:31:40.720
 it happen.

00:31:42.100 --> 00:31:42.540
 Beloved,

00:31:42.600 --> 00:31:42.820
 we are

00:31:42.820 --> 00:31:43.160
 meant to

00:31:43.160 --> 00:31:43.720
 be a

00:31:43.720 --> 00:31:44.600
 mindful

00:31:44.600 --> 00:31:45.280
 people,

00:31:45.700 --> 00:31:46.100
 never

00:31:46.100 --> 00:31:47.860
 mindless.

00:31:48.759 --> 00:31:49.500
 At the

00:31:49.500 --> 00:31:49.980
 biblical

00:31:49.980 --> 00:31:50.560
 counseling and

00:31:50.560 --> 00:31:50.920
 discipleship

00:31:50.920 --> 00:31:51.640
 training that

00:31:51.640 --> 00:31:52.000
 we were at

00:31:52.000 --> 00:31:52.580
 this weekend,

00:31:52.960 --> 00:31:53.360
 if you

00:31:53.360 --> 00:31:53.560
 heard me

00:31:53.560 --> 00:31:53.900
 talk about

00:31:53.900 --> 00:31:54.200
 that in

00:31:54.200 --> 00:31:54.560
 previous

00:31:54.560 --> 00:31:55.700
 months,

00:31:55.860 --> 00:31:56.400
 I appreciated

00:31:56.400 --> 00:31:56.759
 Dr.

00:31:56.840 --> 00:31:57.300
 Stuart Scott

00:31:57.300 --> 00:31:58.220
 said that

00:31:58.220 --> 00:31:59.620
 most of

00:31:59.620 --> 00:31:59.960
 who we

00:31:59.960 --> 00:32:00.140
 are,

00:32:00.220 --> 00:32:00.480
 most of

00:32:00.480 --> 00:32:00.600
 our

00:32:00.600 --> 00:32:01.100
 personality,

00:32:01.240 --> 00:32:01.580
 rather than

00:32:01.580 --> 00:32:02.000
 thinking of

00:32:02.000 --> 00:32:02.640
 it as

00:32:02.640 --> 00:32:02.980
 residing

00:32:02.980 --> 00:32:03.420
 our heart

00:32:03.420 --> 00:32:03.680
 in our

00:32:03.680 --> 00:32:03.940
 chest,

00:32:04.000 --> 00:32:04.240
 it really

00:32:04.240 --> 00:32:04.600
 resides

00:32:04.600 --> 00:32:04.860
 between

00:32:04.860 --> 00:32:05.040
 our

00:32:05.040 --> 00:32:05.380
 ears.

00:32:06.180 --> 00:32:06.440
 We're

00:32:06.440 --> 00:32:06.800
 meant to

00:32:06.800 --> 00:32:07.900
 be mindful

00:32:07.900 --> 00:32:08.340
 people,

00:32:08.800 --> 00:32:09.060
 never

00:32:09.060 --> 00:32:09.840
 mindless.

00:32:10.000 --> 00:32:10.259
 Think

00:32:10.259 --> 00:32:10.640
 about

00:32:10.640 --> 00:32:11.140
 Romans

00:32:11.140 --> 00:32:11.780
 12,

00:32:12.280 --> 00:32:12.680
 2.

00:32:14.020 --> 00:32:14.259
 Paul

00:32:14.259 --> 00:32:14.540
 says,

00:32:14.660 --> 00:32:14.960
 do not

00:32:14.960 --> 00:32:15.160
 be

00:32:15.160 --> 00:32:15.980
 conformed

00:32:15.980 --> 00:32:16.340
 to this

00:32:16.340 --> 00:32:16.600
 world,

00:32:16.680 --> 00:32:17.000
 but be

00:32:17.000 --> 00:32:17.740
 transformed

00:32:17.740 --> 00:32:18.980
 by what?

00:32:20.140 --> 00:32:21.259
 The renewal

00:32:21.259 --> 00:32:22.980
 of your

00:32:22.980 --> 00:32:23.720
 feelings,

00:32:24.620 --> 00:32:26.740
 by being

00:32:26.740 --> 00:32:27.120
 renewed,

00:32:27.220 --> 00:32:27.740
 by seeking

00:32:27.740 --> 00:32:28.059
 out

00:32:28.059 --> 00:32:28.940
 experience,

00:32:29.940 --> 00:32:31.620
 your mind,

00:32:32.680 --> 00:32:33.000
 by the

00:32:33.000 --> 00:32:33.700
 renewal of

00:32:33.700 --> 00:32:35.279
 your mind.

00:32:35.940 --> 00:32:36.400
 And anyone

00:32:36.400 --> 00:32:37.059
 who tells you

00:32:37.059 --> 00:32:37.519
 that the

00:32:37.519 --> 00:32:38.240
 Christian life

00:32:38.240 --> 00:32:39.279
 is divorced

00:32:39.279 --> 00:32:40.339
 from thinking

00:32:40.339 --> 00:32:41.039
 should be

00:32:41.039 --> 00:32:41.339
 avoided.

00:32:41.339 --> 00:32:44.519
 they often

00:32:44.519 --> 00:32:45.279
 elevate the

00:32:45.279 --> 00:32:46.439
 work of

00:32:46.439 --> 00:32:46.879
 the Spirit,

00:32:46.980 --> 00:32:47.299
 real or

00:32:47.299 --> 00:32:47.839
 supposed,

00:32:48.439 --> 00:32:49.059
 and worship

00:32:49.059 --> 00:32:51.179
 Him over

00:32:51.179 --> 00:32:52.199
 Christ.

00:32:53.000 --> 00:32:53.299
 So this is

00:32:53.299 --> 00:32:53.659
 back to my

00:32:53.659 --> 00:32:54.359
 previous point.

00:32:54.459 --> 00:32:55.019
 The primary

00:32:55.019 --> 00:32:55.959
 job of the

00:32:55.959 --> 00:32:56.399
 Spirit of

00:32:56.399 --> 00:32:56.939
 God is the

00:32:56.939 --> 00:32:58.459
 exaltation of

00:32:58.459 --> 00:32:59.039
 Jesus Christ.

00:32:59.279 --> 00:33:00.039
 Many old

00:33:00.039 --> 00:33:01.000
 theologians got

00:33:01.000 --> 00:33:01.579
 it right when

00:33:01.579 --> 00:33:01.959
 they called

00:33:01.959 --> 00:33:02.379
 Him the

00:33:02.379 --> 00:33:03.699
 shy Spirit.

00:33:04.599 --> 00:33:05.319
 The Spirit

00:33:05.319 --> 00:33:05.639
 of God

00:33:05.639 --> 00:33:05.939
 says,

00:33:06.359 --> 00:33:06.899
 not me,

00:33:07.179 --> 00:33:07.559
 Christ.

00:33:09.000 --> 00:33:09.459
 And when

00:33:09.459 --> 00:33:10.819
 a denominational

00:33:10.819 --> 00:33:12.500
 system worships

00:33:12.500 --> 00:33:13.299
 the Spirit

00:33:13.299 --> 00:33:13.899
 and the work

00:33:13.899 --> 00:33:14.399
 of the Spirit,

00:33:14.519 --> 00:33:15.000
 that's a really

00:33:15.000 --> 00:33:15.939
 dangerous thing.

00:33:16.379 --> 00:33:16.700
 I'll show you

00:33:16.700 --> 00:33:17.339
 from the

00:33:17.339 --> 00:33:17.539
 Scripture,

00:33:17.700 --> 00:33:18.619
 John 16,

00:33:19.039 --> 00:33:19.980
 12-15.

00:33:20.939 --> 00:33:21.659
 Jesus says to

00:33:21.659 --> 00:33:22.039
 the disciples,

00:33:22.159 --> 00:33:22.480
 I still have

00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:22.899
 many things

00:33:22.899 --> 00:33:23.319
 to say to

00:33:23.319 --> 00:33:23.519
 you,

00:33:23.779 --> 00:33:24.079
 but you

00:33:24.079 --> 00:33:24.779
 cannot bear

00:33:24.779 --> 00:33:25.299
 them now.

00:33:25.779 --> 00:33:26.139
 When the

00:33:26.139 --> 00:33:26.639
 Spirit of

00:33:26.639 --> 00:33:27.460
 truth comes,

00:33:27.559 --> 00:33:27.799
 He will

00:33:27.799 --> 00:33:28.519
 guide you

00:33:28.519 --> 00:33:29.039
 into all

00:33:29.039 --> 00:33:29.599
 the truth,

00:33:30.179 --> 00:33:30.539
 for He

00:33:30.539 --> 00:33:30.919
 will not

00:33:30.919 --> 00:33:31.439
 speak on

00:33:31.439 --> 00:33:31.919
 His own

00:33:31.919 --> 00:33:32.460
 authority,

00:33:32.899 --> 00:33:33.339
 but whatever

00:33:33.339 --> 00:33:34.000
 He hears,

00:33:34.099 --> 00:33:34.319
 He will

00:33:34.319 --> 00:33:34.819
 speak,

00:33:35.299 --> 00:33:35.639
 and He

00:33:35.639 --> 00:33:36.139
 will declare

00:33:36.139 --> 00:33:36.720
 to you the

00:33:36.720 --> 00:33:37.460
 things that

00:33:37.460 --> 00:33:38.000
 are to

00:33:38.000 --> 00:33:38.359
 come.

00:33:38.480 --> 00:33:39.159
 Verse 14,

00:33:39.579 --> 00:33:40.439
 He will

00:33:40.440 --> 00:33:41.160
 glorify

00:33:41.160 --> 00:33:41.980
 me.

00:33:44.019 --> 00:33:44.600
 The job

00:33:44.600 --> 00:33:44.759
 of the

00:33:44.759 --> 00:33:44.940
 Spirit,

00:33:45.080 --> 00:33:45.400
 He will

00:33:45.400 --> 00:33:45.680
 glorify

00:33:45.680 --> 00:33:46.000
 me,

00:33:46.259 --> 00:33:46.500
 Christ

00:33:46.500 --> 00:33:46.860
 is speaking

00:33:46.860 --> 00:33:47.100
 here,

00:33:47.160 --> 00:33:47.380
 for He

00:33:47.380 --> 00:33:47.700
 will take

00:33:47.700 --> 00:33:47.900
 what is

00:33:47.900 --> 00:33:49.380
 mine and

00:33:49.380 --> 00:33:49.779
 declare it

00:33:49.779 --> 00:33:50.200
 to you.

00:33:50.840 --> 00:33:51.380
 All that

00:33:51.380 --> 00:33:51.680
 the Father

00:33:51.680 --> 00:33:52.100
 has is

00:33:52.100 --> 00:33:52.340
 mine,

00:33:52.420 --> 00:33:52.779
 therefore I

00:33:52.779 --> 00:33:53.059
 said that

00:33:53.059 --> 00:33:53.240
 He will

00:33:53.240 --> 00:33:53.700
 take what

00:33:53.700 --> 00:33:54.160
 is mine,

00:33:54.880 --> 00:33:55.299
 He will

00:33:55.299 --> 00:33:55.900
 declare it

00:33:55.900 --> 00:33:57.220
 to you.

00:33:57.340 --> 00:33:57.799
 This is

00:33:57.799 --> 00:33:58.259
 the job

00:33:58.259 --> 00:33:59.059
 of the

00:33:59.059 --> 00:33:59.299
 Spirit

00:33:59.299 --> 00:34:00.400
 of God.

00:34:01.600 --> 00:34:02.240
 There's a

00:34:02.240 --> 00:34:03.000
 quotation on

00:34:03.000 --> 00:34:03.299
 the front of

00:34:03.299 --> 00:34:03.860
 your bulletin

00:34:03.860 --> 00:34:05.220
 written in

00:34:05.220 --> 00:34:07.200
 nine-point

00:34:07.200 --> 00:34:07.900
 Helvetica so I

00:34:07.900 --> 00:34:08.240
 can get it

00:34:08.240 --> 00:34:08.619
 to fit.

00:34:08.619 --> 00:34:10.920
 But I

00:34:10.920 --> 00:34:11.139
 know it's

00:34:11.139 --> 00:34:11.480
 helpful for

00:34:11.480 --> 00:34:11.659
 you to

00:34:11.659 --> 00:34:11.940
 see it,

00:34:11.960 --> 00:34:12.099
 so I

00:34:12.099 --> 00:34:12.339
 hope you

00:34:12.339 --> 00:34:12.619
 can see

00:34:12.619 --> 00:34:12.819
 it.

00:34:13.159 --> 00:34:13.460
 Let me

00:34:13.460 --> 00:34:13.679
 try to

00:34:13.679 --> 00:34:13.900
 read it

00:34:13.900 --> 00:34:14.139
 to you

00:34:14.139 --> 00:34:14.719
 carefully

00:34:14.719 --> 00:34:15.480
 by the

00:34:15.480 --> 00:34:17.440
 late

00:34:17.440 --> 00:34:17.719
 preacher

00:34:17.719 --> 00:34:17.960
 Martin

00:34:17.960 --> 00:34:18.179
 Lloyd

00:34:18.179 --> 00:34:18.480
 Jones.

00:34:18.599 --> 00:34:18.679
 He

00:34:18.679 --> 00:34:18.920
 says,

00:34:19.000 --> 00:34:19.039
 The

00:34:19.039 --> 00:34:19.339
 Spirit

00:34:19.339 --> 00:34:20.019
 does not

00:34:20.019 --> 00:34:20.759
 glorify

00:34:20.759 --> 00:34:21.559
 Himself.

00:34:21.980 --> 00:34:22.099
 He

00:34:22.099 --> 00:34:22.900
 glorifies

00:34:22.900 --> 00:34:23.559
 the

00:34:23.559 --> 00:34:23.920
 Son.

00:34:24.679 --> 00:34:24.920
 This

00:34:24.920 --> 00:34:25.380
 is to

00:34:25.380 --> 00:34:25.639
 me

00:34:25.639 --> 00:34:25.920
 one of

00:34:25.920 --> 00:34:26.019
 the

00:34:26.019 --> 00:34:26.239
 most

00:34:26.239 --> 00:34:26.819
 amazing

00:34:26.819 --> 00:34:27.099
 and

00:34:27.099 --> 00:34:27.639
 remarkable

00:34:27.639 --> 00:34:28.179
 things

00:34:28.179 --> 00:34:28.440
 about

00:34:28.440 --> 00:34:28.639
 the

00:34:28.639 --> 00:34:28.920
 biblical

00:34:28.920 --> 00:34:29.460
 doctrine

00:34:29.460 --> 00:34:30.239
 of the

00:34:30.239 --> 00:34:30.440
 Holy

00:34:30.440 --> 00:34:30.839
 Spirit.

00:34:31.500 --> 00:34:31.799
 The

00:34:31.799 --> 00:34:32.000
 Holy

00:34:32.000 --> 00:34:32.179
 Spirit

00:34:32.179 --> 00:34:32.699
 seems to

00:34:32.699 --> 00:34:33.059
 hide

00:34:33.059 --> 00:34:33.539
 Himself

00:34:33.539 --> 00:34:34.440
 and to

00:34:34.440 --> 00:34:34.900
 conceal

00:34:34.900 --> 00:34:35.380
 Himself.

00:34:36.079 --> 00:34:36.239
 He

00:34:36.239 --> 00:34:37.059
 is always

00:34:37.059 --> 00:34:37.679
 as it

00:34:37.679 --> 00:34:37.940
 were,

00:34:38.059 --> 00:34:38.279
 putting

00:34:38.279 --> 00:34:38.539
 the

00:34:38.539 --> 00:34:38.980
 focus

00:34:38.980 --> 00:34:39.480
 on

00:34:39.480 --> 00:34:40.199
 the

00:34:40.199 --> 00:34:40.539
 Son.

00:34:40.980 --> 00:34:41.139
 And

00:34:41.139 --> 00:34:41.399
 that is

00:34:41.399 --> 00:34:41.759
 why I

00:34:41.759 --> 00:34:42.159
 believe,

00:34:42.239 --> 00:34:42.440
 and I

00:34:42.440 --> 00:34:42.679
 believe

00:34:42.679 --> 00:34:43.419
 profoundly,

00:34:44.419 --> 00:34:44.719
 that the

00:34:44.719 --> 00:34:45.359
 best test

00:34:45.359 --> 00:34:45.819
 of all

00:34:45.819 --> 00:34:46.339
 as to

00:34:46.339 --> 00:34:46.599
 whether we

00:34:46.599 --> 00:34:47.299
 have received

00:34:47.299 --> 00:34:47.559
 the

00:34:47.559 --> 00:34:47.799
 Spirit

00:34:47.799 --> 00:34:48.960
 is to

00:34:48.960 --> 00:34:49.259
 ask

00:34:49.259 --> 00:34:50.000
 ourselves,

00:34:50.480 --> 00:34:50.919
 what do

00:34:50.919 --> 00:34:51.359
 we think

00:34:51.359 --> 00:34:52.539
 of and

00:34:52.539 --> 00:34:52.779
 what do

00:34:52.779 --> 00:34:53.460
 we know

00:34:53.460 --> 00:34:54.199
 about

00:34:54.199 --> 00:34:54.960
 the

00:34:54.960 --> 00:34:55.259
 Son?

00:34:55.980 --> 00:34:56.599
 Is the

00:34:56.599 --> 00:34:57.299
 Son real

00:34:57.299 --> 00:34:58.259
 to us?

00:34:59.039 --> 00:34:59.559
 That is

00:34:59.559 --> 00:35:00.019
 the work

00:35:00.019 --> 00:35:01.159
 of the

00:35:01.159 --> 00:35:01.440
 Spirit.

00:35:02.480 --> 00:35:02.859
 He is

00:35:02.859 --> 00:35:03.239
 glorified

00:35:03.239 --> 00:35:03.819
 indirectly.

00:35:04.339 --> 00:35:04.579
 He is

00:35:04.579 --> 00:35:04.879
 always

00:35:04.879 --> 00:35:05.460
 pointing us

00:35:05.460 --> 00:35:06.460
 to the

00:35:06.460 --> 00:35:06.760
 Son.

00:35:07.420 --> 00:35:07.659
 And so

00:35:07.659 --> 00:35:08.039
 you see

00:35:08.039 --> 00:35:08.639
 how easily

00:35:08.639 --> 00:35:09.000
 we go

00:35:09.000 --> 00:35:09.440
 astray

00:35:09.440 --> 00:35:09.820
 and become

00:35:09.820 --> 00:35:10.300
 heretical

00:35:10.300 --> 00:35:10.800
 if we

00:35:10.800 --> 00:35:11.360
 concentrate

00:35:11.360 --> 00:35:12.699
 over much

00:35:12.699 --> 00:35:13.539
 and in

00:35:13.539 --> 00:35:14.300
 an unscriptural

00:35:14.300 --> 00:35:14.679
 manner

00:35:14.679 --> 00:35:15.179
 upon the

00:35:15.179 --> 00:35:15.460
 Spirit

00:35:15.460 --> 00:35:16.440
 Himself.

00:35:17.340 --> 00:35:17.800
 Yes,

00:35:17.960 --> 00:35:18.519
 we must

00:35:18.519 --> 00:35:19.099
 realize

00:35:19.099 --> 00:35:19.380
 that He

00:35:19.380 --> 00:35:20.039
 dwells

00:35:20.039 --> 00:35:21.000
 within us.

00:35:21.019 --> 00:35:21.440
 Not to

00:35:21.440 --> 00:35:22.199
 minimize that,

00:35:22.300 --> 00:35:22.400
 right?

00:35:22.440 --> 00:35:22.900
 He does

00:35:22.900 --> 00:35:23.420
 in fact

00:35:23.420 --> 00:35:23.960
 dwell within

00:35:23.960 --> 00:35:24.139
 us,

00:35:24.240 --> 00:35:25.220
 but His

00:35:25.220 --> 00:35:25.760
 work in

00:35:25.760 --> 00:35:26.039
 dwelling

00:35:26.039 --> 00:35:26.880
 within us

00:35:26.880 --> 00:35:27.480
 is to

00:35:27.480 --> 00:35:28.000
 glorify

00:35:28.000 --> 00:35:28.579
 the

00:35:28.579 --> 00:35:29.320
 Son and

00:35:29.320 --> 00:35:29.780
 to bring

00:35:29.780 --> 00:35:30.260
 to us

00:35:30.260 --> 00:35:30.500
 that

00:35:30.500 --> 00:35:31.019
 blessed

00:35:31.019 --> 00:35:31.659
 knowledge

00:35:31.659 --> 00:35:32.019
 of the

00:35:32.019 --> 00:35:32.840
 Son and

00:35:32.840 --> 00:35:33.159
 of His

00:35:33.159 --> 00:35:33.740
 wondrous

00:35:33.740 --> 00:35:34.260
 love to

00:35:34.260 --> 00:35:34.619
 us.

00:35:34.619 --> 00:35:35.400
 It is

00:35:35.400 --> 00:35:35.859
 He

00:35:35.859 --> 00:35:36.339
 who

00:35:36.339 --> 00:35:36.960
 strengthens

00:35:36.960 --> 00:35:37.219
 us

00:35:37.219 --> 00:35:37.599
 with the

00:35:37.599 --> 00:35:37.960
 might

00:35:37.960 --> 00:35:38.420
 in the

00:35:38.420 --> 00:35:38.699
 inner

00:35:38.699 --> 00:35:39.179
 man

00:35:39.179 --> 00:35:39.880
 that we

00:35:39.880 --> 00:35:40.039
 may

00:35:40.039 --> 00:35:40.519
 know

00:35:40.519 --> 00:35:40.980
 this

00:35:40.980 --> 00:35:41.559
 love,

00:35:42.039 --> 00:35:42.400
 this

00:35:42.400 --> 00:35:42.940
 love

00:35:42.940 --> 00:35:43.859
 of

00:35:43.859 --> 00:35:44.339
 Christ.

00:35:45.099 --> 00:35:45.699
 This

00:35:45.699 --> 00:35:46.619
 is the

00:35:46.619 --> 00:35:47.019
 job

00:35:47.019 --> 00:35:47.880
 of the

00:35:47.880 --> 00:35:48.119
 Spirit.

00:35:48.339 --> 00:35:48.679
 This is

00:35:48.679 --> 00:35:49.099
 why

00:35:49.099 --> 00:35:50.559
 Paul

00:35:50.559 --> 00:35:51.359
 prays

00:35:51.359 --> 00:35:52.299
 for the

00:35:52.299 --> 00:35:53.039
 church in

00:35:53.039 --> 00:35:53.480
 Ephesus.

00:35:53.639 --> 00:35:54.099
 It's recorded

00:35:54.099 --> 00:35:54.859
 in chapter

00:35:54.859 --> 00:35:55.420
 3,

00:35:55.739 --> 00:35:56.460
 verse 14

00:35:56.460 --> 00:35:57.079
 and 19.

00:35:57.420 --> 00:35:57.799
 For this

00:35:57.799 --> 00:35:58.299
 reason I

00:35:58.299 --> 00:35:58.739
 bow my

00:35:58.739 --> 00:35:59.099
 knees before

00:35:59.099 --> 00:35:59.519
 the Father.

00:36:00.980 --> 00:36:01.359
 That He's

00:36:01.359 --> 00:36:01.639
 about to

00:36:01.639 --> 00:36:01.799
 say,

00:36:01.900 --> 00:36:02.159
 this is

00:36:02.159 --> 00:36:02.460
 the reason

00:36:02.460 --> 00:36:02.719
 I bow

00:36:02.719 --> 00:36:02.940
 my knees

00:36:02.940 --> 00:36:03.239
 before the

00:36:03.239 --> 00:36:03.440
 Father,

00:36:03.779 --> 00:36:04.199
 from whom

00:36:04.199 --> 00:36:04.699
 every family

00:36:04.699 --> 00:36:05.000
 in heaven

00:36:05.000 --> 00:36:05.299
 on earth

00:36:05.299 --> 00:36:05.839
 is named,

00:36:06.239 --> 00:36:06.779
 that according

00:36:06.779 --> 00:36:07.119
 to the

00:36:07.119 --> 00:36:07.579
 riches of

00:36:07.579 --> 00:36:08.000
 His glory

00:36:08.000 --> 00:36:08.319
 He may

00:36:08.319 --> 00:36:09.119
 grant you

00:36:09.119 --> 00:36:09.539
 to be

00:36:09.539 --> 00:36:10.419
 strengthened

00:36:10.419 --> 00:36:11.339
 with power

00:36:11.339 --> 00:36:12.719
 through His

00:36:12.719 --> 00:36:14.419
 Spirit in

00:36:14.419 --> 00:36:15.019
 your inner

00:36:15.019 --> 00:36:15.500
 being.

00:36:15.719 --> 00:36:16.039
 Why?

00:36:16.480 --> 00:36:16.899
 Strengthened

00:36:16.899 --> 00:36:17.319
 with power

00:36:17.319 --> 00:36:18.719
 through His

00:36:18.719 --> 00:36:19.179
 Spirit in

00:36:19.179 --> 00:36:19.439
 your inner

00:36:19.439 --> 00:36:19.699
 being.

00:36:20.079 --> 00:36:20.619
 Verse 17,

00:36:20.619 --> 00:36:21.719
 so that

00:36:21.719 --> 00:36:22.980
 Christ may

00:36:22.980 --> 00:36:23.859
 dwell in

00:36:23.859 --> 00:36:24.480
 your hearts

00:36:24.480 --> 00:36:25.359
 through faith,

00:36:26.079 --> 00:36:26.420
 that you

00:36:26.420 --> 00:36:27.199
 being rooted

00:36:27.199 --> 00:36:28.000
 and grounded

00:36:28.000 --> 00:36:28.839
 in love,

00:36:28.900 --> 00:36:29.159
 the love

00:36:29.159 --> 00:36:29.539
 of Christ,

00:36:29.639 --> 00:36:29.940
 may have

00:36:29.940 --> 00:36:31.059
 strength to

00:36:31.059 --> 00:36:31.519
 comprehend

00:36:31.519 --> 00:36:31.980
 with all

00:36:31.980 --> 00:36:32.500
 the saints

00:36:32.500 --> 00:36:32.940
 what is the

00:36:32.940 --> 00:36:33.880
 breadth and

00:36:33.880 --> 00:36:34.759
 length and

00:36:34.759 --> 00:36:35.699
 height and

00:36:35.699 --> 00:36:36.139
 depth,

00:36:36.319 --> 00:36:36.699
 and to

00:36:36.699 --> 00:36:37.639
 know the

00:36:37.639 --> 00:36:38.420
 love of

00:36:38.420 --> 00:36:39.099
 Christ that

00:36:39.099 --> 00:36:39.819
 surpasses

00:36:39.819 --> 00:36:40.199
 knowledge,

00:36:40.420 --> 00:36:40.759
 that you

00:36:40.759 --> 00:36:41.339
 may be

00:36:41.339 --> 00:36:42.559
 filled with

00:36:42.559 --> 00:36:43.420
 all the

00:36:43.420 --> 00:36:43.699
 fullness

00:36:43.699 --> 00:36:45.239
 of God.

00:36:45.239 --> 00:36:46.619
 Are you

00:36:46.619 --> 00:36:47.079
 seeing it?

00:36:47.079 --> 00:36:49.119
 So,

00:36:50.059 --> 00:36:51.239
 to be

00:36:51.239 --> 00:36:51.500
 filled with

00:36:51.500 --> 00:36:51.679
 the Holy

00:36:51.679 --> 00:36:52.039
 Spirit is

00:36:52.039 --> 00:36:52.480
 not a

00:36:52.480 --> 00:36:53.239
 secondary,

00:36:55.299 --> 00:36:55.940
 necessarily

00:36:55.940 --> 00:36:56.599
 miraculous

00:36:56.599 --> 00:36:57.619
 experience of

00:36:57.619 --> 00:36:57.920
 the Christian

00:36:57.920 --> 00:36:58.380
 life,

00:36:58.880 --> 00:37:00.279
 but rather

00:37:00.279 --> 00:37:00.960
 it's the

00:37:00.960 --> 00:37:01.679
 normative

00:37:01.679 --> 00:37:03.179
 experience of

00:37:03.179 --> 00:37:03.599
 the Christian

00:37:03.599 --> 00:37:05.000
 life that's

00:37:05.000 --> 00:37:05.480
 yielded to

00:37:05.480 --> 00:37:05.779
 God.

00:37:06.619 --> 00:37:06.920
 It's

00:37:06.920 --> 00:37:07.619
 normative,

00:37:08.139 --> 00:37:08.679
 and it

00:37:08.679 --> 00:37:09.159
 evidences

00:37:09.159 --> 00:37:10.779
 itself in

00:37:10.779 --> 00:37:11.139
 obedience.

00:37:12.619 --> 00:37:12.860
 You want

00:37:12.860 --> 00:37:13.119
 to know if

00:37:13.119 --> 00:37:13.900
 you're filled

00:37:13.900 --> 00:37:14.539
 with the

00:37:14.539 --> 00:37:14.759
 Spirit?

00:37:15.960 --> 00:37:16.559
 When you're

00:37:16.559 --> 00:37:16.860
 obedient.

00:37:17.079 --> 00:37:17.779
 When you're

00:37:17.779 --> 00:37:18.099
 obedient,

00:37:18.219 --> 00:37:18.579
 you're filled

00:37:18.579 --> 00:37:19.819
 with the

00:37:19.819 --> 00:37:20.000
 Spirit.

00:37:20.099 --> 00:37:20.279
 In our

00:37:20.279 --> 00:37:20.679
 text this

00:37:20.679 --> 00:37:20.980
 morning,

00:37:21.739 --> 00:37:22.159
 in verse

00:37:22.159 --> 00:37:22.519
 4,

00:37:23.059 --> 00:37:23.519
 the disciples

00:37:23.519 --> 00:37:24.579
 are filled

00:37:24.579 --> 00:37:25.199
 with the

00:37:25.199 --> 00:37:25.679
 Holy Spirit,

00:37:25.759 --> 00:37:26.000
 and then

00:37:26.000 --> 00:37:26.299
 what do

00:37:26.299 --> 00:37:26.840
 they do?

00:37:27.900 --> 00:37:28.380
 They're

00:37:28.380 --> 00:37:28.779
 obedient.

00:37:29.599 --> 00:37:30.239
 They do

00:37:30.239 --> 00:37:30.519
 it in a

00:37:30.519 --> 00:37:30.659
 really

00:37:30.659 --> 00:37:31.019
 miraculous

00:37:31.019 --> 00:37:31.400
 way.

00:37:31.500 --> 00:37:31.699
 I'm not

00:37:31.699 --> 00:37:31.860
 going to

00:37:31.860 --> 00:37:32.219
 discount

00:37:32.219 --> 00:37:32.599
 that,

00:37:33.039 --> 00:37:33.519
 but the

00:37:33.519 --> 00:37:34.039
 point is,

00:37:34.099 --> 00:37:34.639
 the driving

00:37:34.639 --> 00:37:35.299
 point is,

00:37:35.619 --> 00:37:35.860
 they were

00:37:35.860 --> 00:37:36.319
 obedient.

00:37:36.519 --> 00:37:36.719
 They were

00:37:36.719 --> 00:37:37.319
 telling the

00:37:37.319 --> 00:37:38.519
 mighty works

00:37:38.519 --> 00:37:39.099
 of God,

00:37:39.199 --> 00:37:40.099
 which they

00:37:40.099 --> 00:37:40.360
 have been

00:37:40.360 --> 00:37:40.779
 commanded

00:37:40.779 --> 00:37:41.779
 to do.

00:37:41.960 --> 00:37:42.259
 They were

00:37:42.259 --> 00:37:42.699
 to be

00:37:42.699 --> 00:37:43.460
 witnesses.

00:37:44.579 --> 00:37:44.880
 And this

00:37:44.880 --> 00:37:45.420
 is exactly

00:37:45.420 --> 00:37:46.119
 the activity

00:37:46.119 --> 00:37:47.059
 that they

00:37:47.059 --> 00:37:47.500
 are doing

00:37:47.500 --> 00:37:48.000
 as the

00:37:48.000 --> 00:37:48.239
 Spirit

00:37:48.239 --> 00:37:49.279
 gives them

00:37:49.279 --> 00:37:50.500
 utterance.

00:37:51.139 --> 00:37:52.079
 Being filled

00:37:52.079 --> 00:37:52.480
 with the

00:37:52.480 --> 00:37:52.819
 Spirit

00:37:52.819 --> 00:37:54.599
 brings about

00:37:54.599 --> 00:37:55.420
 obedience.

00:37:55.659 --> 00:37:55.880
 I'm going to

00:37:55.880 --> 00:37:56.179
 show you

00:37:56.179 --> 00:37:56.759
 through Acts

00:37:56.759 --> 00:37:57.159
 quickly.

00:37:57.299 --> 00:37:57.599
 I just want

00:37:57.599 --> 00:37:57.799
 you to

00:37:57.799 --> 00:37:58.299
 track me.

00:37:58.359 --> 00:37:58.619
 Don't try

00:37:58.619 --> 00:37:59.019
 to turn.

00:37:59.019 --> 00:37:59.840
 I just

00:37:59.840 --> 00:38:00.059
 gave you

00:38:00.059 --> 00:38:00.420
 the first

00:38:00.420 --> 00:38:00.619
 one,

00:38:00.699 --> 00:38:01.179
 Acts 2

00:38:01.179 --> 00:38:02.039
 verse 11.

00:38:02.119 --> 00:38:02.199
 They're

00:38:02.199 --> 00:38:02.519
 speaking the

00:38:02.519 --> 00:38:02.840
 mighty works

00:38:02.840 --> 00:38:03.119
 of God.

00:38:03.460 --> 00:38:03.659
 In Acts

00:38:03.659 --> 00:38:04.000
 4.8,

00:38:04.059 --> 00:38:04.460
 it's recorded

00:38:04.460 --> 00:38:05.000
 again that

00:38:05.000 --> 00:38:05.360
 Peter is

00:38:05.360 --> 00:38:05.800
 filled with

00:38:05.800 --> 00:38:06.019
 the Holy

00:38:06.019 --> 00:38:06.840
 Spirit and

00:38:06.840 --> 00:38:07.360
 speaks with

00:38:07.360 --> 00:38:08.059
 such power

00:38:08.059 --> 00:38:08.619
 that the

00:38:08.619 --> 00:38:09.079
 Jewish leaders

00:38:09.079 --> 00:38:09.619
 were amazed

00:38:09.619 --> 00:38:09.860
 at his

00:38:09.860 --> 00:38:10.360
 boldness in

00:38:10.360 --> 00:38:10.739
 spite of

00:38:10.739 --> 00:38:11.059
 his being

00:38:11.059 --> 00:38:11.719
 relatively

00:38:11.719 --> 00:38:12.860
 uneducated.

00:38:12.920 --> 00:38:13.099
 That's

00:38:13.099 --> 00:38:13.579
 chapter 4

00:38:13.579 --> 00:38:14.559
 verse 13.

00:38:14.780 --> 00:38:15.320
 He speaks

00:38:15.320 --> 00:38:16.599
 with power.

00:38:16.800 --> 00:38:17.659
 Acts 4.31,

00:38:18.119 --> 00:38:18.719
 other disciples

00:38:18.719 --> 00:38:19.219
 were praying

00:38:19.219 --> 00:38:19.659
 in the place

00:38:19.659 --> 00:38:19.820
 where they

00:38:19.820 --> 00:38:20.280
 were shaken,

00:38:20.860 --> 00:38:21.900
 they were

00:38:21.900 --> 00:38:22.280
 filled with

00:38:22.280 --> 00:38:22.440
 the Holy

00:38:22.440 --> 00:38:22.759
 Spirit.

00:38:23.039 --> 00:38:23.619
 The effect

00:38:23.619 --> 00:38:24.099
 of their

00:38:24.099 --> 00:38:25.099
 fullness was

00:38:25.099 --> 00:38:25.340
 that they

00:38:25.340 --> 00:38:26.159
 spoke the

00:38:26.159 --> 00:38:26.619
 word of

00:38:26.619 --> 00:38:27.460
 God with

00:38:27.460 --> 00:38:28.279
 extraordinary

00:38:28.279 --> 00:38:29.519
 boldness and

00:38:29.519 --> 00:38:30.279
 Christ-exalting

00:38:30.279 --> 00:38:30.879
 power.

00:38:31.779 --> 00:38:32.420
 In Acts 6,

00:38:32.480 --> 00:38:32.739
 we meet

00:38:32.739 --> 00:38:33.199
 Stephen,

00:38:33.480 --> 00:38:34.039
 who is full

00:38:34.039 --> 00:38:34.539
 of faith

00:38:34.539 --> 00:38:35.000
 in the Holy

00:38:35.000 --> 00:38:35.279
 Spirit,

00:38:35.359 --> 00:38:35.859
 verse 5,

00:38:36.179 --> 00:38:36.500
 and Luke

00:38:36.500 --> 00:38:36.980
 tells us

00:38:36.980 --> 00:38:37.599
 in verse 8

00:38:37.599 --> 00:38:37.980
 that he

00:38:37.980 --> 00:38:39.000
 was therefore

00:38:39.000 --> 00:38:40.000
 full of

00:38:40.000 --> 00:38:40.579
 power and

00:38:40.579 --> 00:38:41.019
 did wonders

00:38:41.019 --> 00:38:41.440
 and signs

00:38:41.440 --> 00:38:41.839
 among the

00:38:41.839 --> 00:38:42.099
 people,

00:38:42.219 --> 00:38:42.799
 but especially

00:38:42.799 --> 00:38:43.539
 in verse 10,

00:38:43.899 --> 00:38:44.199
 the leaders

00:38:44.199 --> 00:38:44.940
 could not

00:38:44.940 --> 00:38:45.699
 resist the

00:38:45.699 --> 00:38:46.699
 wisdom and

00:38:46.699 --> 00:38:47.659
 spirit with

00:38:47.659 --> 00:38:48.279
 which he

00:38:48.279 --> 00:38:49.440
 spoke.

00:38:50.379 --> 00:38:51.359
 In Acts 9.17,

00:38:51.519 --> 00:38:51.940
 Paul is filled

00:38:51.940 --> 00:38:52.259
 with the Holy

00:38:52.259 --> 00:38:52.940
 Spirit at his

00:38:52.940 --> 00:38:53.519
 conversion,

00:38:53.719 --> 00:38:54.359
 and the result

00:38:54.359 --> 00:38:55.159
 was that he

00:38:55.159 --> 00:38:55.779
 spoke,

00:38:56.159 --> 00:38:56.519
 with such

00:38:56.519 --> 00:38:56.899
 extraordinary

00:38:56.899 --> 00:38:57.799
 power that

00:38:57.799 --> 00:38:58.239
 the Jews

00:38:58.239 --> 00:38:58.940
 of Damascus

00:38:58.940 --> 00:39:00.179
 were confounded,

00:39:00.399 --> 00:39:00.839
 chapter 9,

00:39:00.879 --> 00:39:01.819
 verse 22.

00:39:02.920 --> 00:39:04.039
 Acts 11,

00:39:04.379 --> 00:39:05.299
 verse 24,

00:39:05.839 --> 00:39:06.579
 Barnabas was

00:39:06.579 --> 00:39:07.339
 full of the

00:39:07.339 --> 00:39:07.899
 Holy Spirit

00:39:07.899 --> 00:39:08.899
 and faith,

00:39:09.319 --> 00:39:10.099
 and the effect

00:39:10.099 --> 00:39:10.879
 Luke mentions

00:39:10.879 --> 00:39:11.319
 was that a

00:39:11.319 --> 00:39:12.420
 large company

00:39:12.420 --> 00:39:13.519
 was added to

00:39:13.519 --> 00:39:14.599
 the Lord.

00:39:15.059 --> 00:39:15.319
 So he's

00:39:15.319 --> 00:39:16.119
 speaking again

00:39:16.119 --> 00:39:17.159
 the truth

00:39:17.159 --> 00:39:18.219
 of God.

00:39:19.500 --> 00:39:20.000
 So,

00:39:20.960 --> 00:39:21.599
 it brings

00:39:21.599 --> 00:39:22.420
 about obedience.

00:39:22.599 --> 00:39:22.779
 Now,

00:39:23.119 --> 00:39:23.819
 there are

00:39:23.819 --> 00:39:24.859
 respected,

00:39:25.539 --> 00:39:26.139
 conservative,

00:39:26.159 --> 00:39:27.480
 evangelicals

00:39:27.480 --> 00:39:28.619
 that I

00:39:28.619 --> 00:39:29.119
 look to

00:39:29.119 --> 00:39:29.879
 for many

00:39:29.879 --> 00:39:30.480
 answers to

00:39:30.480 --> 00:39:31.179
 help comprehend

00:39:31.179 --> 00:39:31.920
 and understand.

00:39:32.839 --> 00:39:33.279
 I'm not going

00:39:33.279 --> 00:39:33.559
 to name their

00:39:33.559 --> 00:39:34.279
 names for you

00:39:34.279 --> 00:39:34.639
 because it

00:39:34.639 --> 00:39:35.000
 might make

00:39:35.000 --> 00:39:35.239
 me look

00:39:35.239 --> 00:39:35.719
 really foolish,

00:39:37.159 --> 00:39:37.920
 but that

00:39:37.920 --> 00:39:38.599
 suggests

00:39:38.599 --> 00:39:39.839
 that this

00:39:39.839 --> 00:39:40.239
 filling of the

00:39:40.239 --> 00:39:40.699
 Holy Spirit

00:39:40.699 --> 00:39:42.219
 is a thing

00:39:42.219 --> 00:39:42.619
 that we

00:39:42.619 --> 00:39:43.019
 should be

00:39:43.019 --> 00:39:44.219
 longing for.

00:39:44.819 --> 00:39:45.279
 It's a thing

00:39:45.279 --> 00:39:45.539
 that we

00:39:45.539 --> 00:39:45.879
 should be

00:39:45.879 --> 00:39:46.980
 looking to

00:39:46.980 --> 00:39:47.539
 and longing

00:39:47.539 --> 00:39:48.039
 for in our

00:39:48.039 --> 00:39:48.259
 lives.

00:39:48.319 --> 00:39:49.239
 We want

00:39:49.239 --> 00:39:50.000
 extra

00:39:50.000 --> 00:39:50.659
 empowering.

00:39:50.659 --> 00:39:51.960
 And we

00:39:51.960 --> 00:39:52.239
 do.

00:39:52.440 --> 00:39:52.779
 I want

00:39:52.779 --> 00:39:53.239
 my ministry

00:39:53.239 --> 00:39:53.519
 to be

00:39:53.519 --> 00:39:53.980
 effective.

00:39:54.379 --> 00:39:54.539
 I want

00:39:54.539 --> 00:39:54.920
 the Spirit

00:39:54.920 --> 00:39:55.299
 of God

00:39:55.299 --> 00:39:55.619
 to work

00:39:55.619 --> 00:39:56.399
 mightily

00:39:56.399 --> 00:39:56.779
 in His

00:39:56.779 --> 00:39:57.259
 people

00:39:57.259 --> 00:39:58.039
 through my

00:39:58.039 --> 00:39:58.619
 preaching.

00:39:59.119 --> 00:39:59.420
 These are

00:39:59.420 --> 00:40:00.079
 good things

00:40:00.079 --> 00:40:00.699
 to long

00:40:00.699 --> 00:40:01.039
 for,

00:40:01.159 --> 00:40:01.639
 but what

00:40:01.639 --> 00:40:02.179
 we're hoping

00:40:02.179 --> 00:40:03.420
 for is the

00:40:03.420 --> 00:40:03.879
 miraculous.

00:40:05.339 --> 00:40:06.339
 That suddenly

00:40:06.339 --> 00:40:06.859
 I begin to

00:40:06.859 --> 00:40:07.359
 speak to you

00:40:07.359 --> 00:40:08.139
 in different

00:40:08.139 --> 00:40:08.539
 languages,

00:40:08.759 --> 00:40:10.539
 or I'm

00:40:10.539 --> 00:40:11.139
 healing people,

00:40:11.279 --> 00:40:11.899
 or these are

00:40:11.899 --> 00:40:12.239
 the types

00:40:12.239 --> 00:40:12.500
 of things

00:40:12.500 --> 00:40:12.679
 that we

00:40:12.679 --> 00:40:12.899
 should be

00:40:12.899 --> 00:40:13.359
 longing to

00:40:13.359 --> 00:40:13.739
 see happen.

00:40:13.839 --> 00:40:14.339
 That is

00:40:14.339 --> 00:40:14.559
 what is

00:40:14.559 --> 00:40:14.819
 meant by

00:40:14.819 --> 00:40:14.920
 the

00:40:14.920 --> 00:40:15.179
 filling of

00:40:15.179 --> 00:40:15.339
 the Spirit.

00:40:15.399 --> 00:40:15.579
 But I

00:40:15.579 --> 00:40:15.799
 have a

00:40:15.799 --> 00:40:16.099
 problem

00:40:16.099 --> 00:40:16.380
 with that

00:40:16.380 --> 00:40:17.059
 because

00:40:17.059 --> 00:40:17.960
 Paul

00:40:17.960 --> 00:40:19.339
 commands

00:40:19.339 --> 00:40:19.860
 Christians

00:40:19.860 --> 00:40:20.599
 to be

00:40:20.599 --> 00:40:20.860
 filled

00:40:20.860 --> 00:40:21.420
 with the

00:40:21.420 --> 00:40:21.659
 Spirit.

00:40:22.460 --> 00:40:22.860
 Not this

00:40:22.860 --> 00:40:23.159
 thing in

00:40:23.159 --> 00:40:23.539
 our life

00:40:23.539 --> 00:40:23.759
 that we

00:40:23.759 --> 00:40:24.139
 may not

00:40:24.139 --> 00:40:24.679
 experience,

00:40:24.779 --> 00:40:24.980
 that we

00:40:24.980 --> 00:40:25.500
 should long

00:40:25.500 --> 00:40:25.920
 for,

00:40:26.279 --> 00:40:27.019
 like regular

00:40:27.019 --> 00:40:27.480
 Christians

00:40:27.480 --> 00:40:28.099
 hoping for

00:40:28.099 --> 00:40:28.940
 this extra

00:40:28.940 --> 00:40:30.019
 outpouring,

00:40:30.400 --> 00:40:30.659
 but Paul

00:40:30.659 --> 00:40:31.400
 commands it,

00:40:32.239 --> 00:40:32.880
 suggests that

00:40:32.880 --> 00:40:33.699
 it's normative

00:40:33.699 --> 00:40:34.659
 that Christian

00:40:34.659 --> 00:40:35.739
 people should

00:40:35.739 --> 00:40:36.559
 be filled

00:40:36.559 --> 00:40:37.920
 with the

00:40:37.920 --> 00:40:38.319
 Spirit.

00:40:39.559 --> 00:40:40.119
 Ephesians,

00:40:40.259 --> 00:40:40.860
 turn to

00:40:40.860 --> 00:40:41.139
 Ephesians

00:40:41.139 --> 00:40:41.860
 chapter 5.

00:40:42.039 --> 00:40:42.339
 I want you

00:40:42.339 --> 00:40:42.719
 to see this

00:40:42.719 --> 00:40:43.259
 for yourself.

00:40:46.099 --> 00:40:57.339
 beginning in

00:40:57.339 --> 00:40:58.059
 verse 18.

00:40:59.880 --> 00:41:00.179
 And do

00:41:00.179 --> 00:41:00.599
 not get

00:41:00.599 --> 00:41:01.259
 drunk with

00:41:01.259 --> 00:41:01.779
 wine.

00:41:02.819 --> 00:41:03.319
 Do not

00:41:03.319 --> 00:41:03.880
 have one

00:41:03.880 --> 00:41:04.619
 thing control

00:41:04.619 --> 00:41:04.940
 you,

00:41:05.039 --> 00:41:05.400
 is what he's

00:41:05.400 --> 00:41:05.639
 saying,

00:41:06.279 --> 00:41:06.860
 for that is

00:41:06.860 --> 00:41:07.460
 debauchery,

00:41:08.119 --> 00:41:09.699
 but be

00:41:09.699 --> 00:41:10.420
 filled

00:41:10.420 --> 00:41:11.799
 with the

00:41:11.799 --> 00:41:12.059
 Spirit.

00:41:15.059 --> 00:41:15.579
 The

00:41:15.579 --> 00:41:15.719
 sentence

00:41:15.719 --> 00:41:16.000
 doesn't

00:41:16.000 --> 00:41:16.299
 stop

00:41:16.299 --> 00:41:16.559
 there.

00:41:16.699 --> 00:41:16.819
 This

00:41:16.819 --> 00:41:17.019
 is not

00:41:17.019 --> 00:41:17.399
 a list

00:41:17.399 --> 00:41:17.599
 of

00:41:17.599 --> 00:41:17.819
 things

00:41:17.819 --> 00:41:18.119
 to do.

00:41:18.199 --> 00:41:18.319
 Be

00:41:18.319 --> 00:41:18.480
 filled

00:41:18.480 --> 00:41:18.599
 with

00:41:18.599 --> 00:41:18.679
 the

00:41:18.679 --> 00:41:18.859
 Spirit

00:41:18.859 --> 00:41:19.339
 and

00:41:19.339 --> 00:41:19.539
 do

00:41:19.539 --> 00:41:19.839
 this

00:41:19.839 --> 00:41:20.219
 and

00:41:20.219 --> 00:41:20.379
 do

00:41:20.379 --> 00:41:20.699
 this

00:41:20.699 --> 00:41:21.039
 and

00:41:21.039 --> 00:41:21.179
 do

00:41:21.179 --> 00:41:21.500
 this.

00:41:22.079 --> 00:41:22.239
 He's

00:41:22.239 --> 00:41:22.399
 saying,

00:41:23.000 --> 00:41:23.779
 be

00:41:23.779 --> 00:41:23.959
 filled

00:41:23.959 --> 00:41:24.079
 with

00:41:24.079 --> 00:41:24.199
 the

00:41:24.199 --> 00:41:24.439
 Spirit

00:41:24.439 --> 00:41:25.199
 and

00:41:25.199 --> 00:41:25.599
 here's

00:41:25.599 --> 00:41:25.739
 what

00:41:25.739 --> 00:41:25.959
 that

00:41:25.959 --> 00:41:26.119
 will

00:41:26.119 --> 00:41:26.319
 look

00:41:26.319 --> 00:41:26.639
 like.

00:41:27.559 --> 00:41:27.959
 This

00:41:27.959 --> 00:41:28.199
 is what's

00:41:28.199 --> 00:41:28.399
 going to

00:41:28.399 --> 00:41:28.719
 happen

00:41:28.719 --> 00:41:29.099
 if you're

00:41:29.099 --> 00:41:29.339
 filled

00:41:29.339 --> 00:41:30.039
 with

00:41:30.039 --> 00:41:30.159
 the

00:41:30.159 --> 00:41:30.339
 Spirit.

00:41:30.439 --> 00:41:30.959
 Verse 19,

00:41:31.059 --> 00:41:31.359
 addressing

00:41:31.359 --> 00:41:31.839
 one another

00:41:32.000 --> 00:41:32.480

00:41:32.480 --> 00:41:32.879
 hymns,

00:41:33.679 --> 00:41:34.199
 songs,

00:41:34.519 --> 00:41:35.119
 singing and

00:41:35.119 --> 00:41:35.579
 making melody

00:41:35.579 --> 00:41:35.839

00:41:45.719 --> 00:41:46.079
 wives,

00:41:51.500 --> 00:41:52.039
 I'm reading fast

00:41:52.039 --> 00:41:52.339

00:41:59.879 --> 00:42:00.139

00:42:00.259 --> 00:42:00.679
 These are

00:42:00.679 --> 00:42:00.959
 the things

00:42:00.959 --> 00:42:01.339
 you will

00:42:01.339 --> 00:42:01.819
 be doing

00:42:01.819 --> 00:42:02.239
 if you

00:42:02.239 --> 00:42:02.699
 are filled

00:42:02.699 --> 00:42:02.719

00:42:02.719 --> 00:42:03.159
 with the

00:42:03.159 --> 00:42:03.339
 Spirit.

00:42:03.519 --> 00:42:03.939
 Do we as

00:42:03.939 --> 00:42:04.159
 Christian

00:42:04.159 --> 00:42:04.919
 people get

00:42:04.919 --> 00:42:05.819
 to discount

00:42:05.819 --> 00:42:06.459
 these things

00:42:06.459 --> 00:42:07.039
 because we're

00:42:07.039 --> 00:42:07.559
 not filled

00:42:07.559 --> 00:42:07.799
 with the

00:42:07.799 --> 00:42:08.000

00:42:09.440 --> 00:42:09.960
 If I don't

00:42:09.960 --> 00:42:10.880

00:42:10.880 --> 00:42:11.420

00:42:11.880 --> 00:42:12.360

00:42:12.360 --> 00:42:12.940
 Sam,

00:42:13.039 --> 00:42:13.460

00:42:13.460 --> 00:42:13.639

00:42:13.639 --> 00:42:13.799
 Sam,

00:42:13.840 --> 00:42:13.940
 if you

00:42:13.940 --> 00:42:14.179
 don't know

00:42:14.179 --> 00:42:14.400
 me,

00:42:15.279 --> 00:42:16.480

00:42:16.639 --> 00:42:16.860
 well,

00:42:17.400 --> 00:42:18.039
 I've been

00:42:18.039 --> 00:42:18.699
 hoping,

00:42:19.659 --> 00:42:20.199
 I've been

00:42:20.199 --> 00:42:20.779
 praying for

00:42:20.779 --> 00:42:21.420
 this miraculous

00:42:21.420 --> 00:42:21.920
 filling of

00:42:21.920 --> 00:42:22.259

00:42:22.259 --> 00:42:22.980

00:42:22.980 --> 00:42:23.500
 can,

00:42:23.920 --> 00:42:24.360
 and I just

00:42:24.360 --> 00:42:24.820
 haven't been

00:42:24.820 --> 00:42:25.880
 able to,

00:42:26.000 --> 00:42:26.460
 no!

00:42:27.539 --> 00:42:28.500
 I'm commanded

00:42:28.500 --> 00:42:29.320
 to do these

00:42:29.320 --> 00:42:30.059
 things and the

00:42:30.059 --> 00:42:30.719

00:42:32.460 --> 00:42:33.519

00:42:34.639 --> 00:42:34.860
 Are you

00:42:34.860 --> 00:42:35.380
 catching it?

00:42:36.440 --> 00:42:37.239
 Dan Phillips,

00:42:37.239 --> 00:42:37.799

00:42:53.000 --> 00:42:53.539

00:43:10.719 --> 00:43:11.159
 and I

00:43:11.159 --> 00:43:11.480
 will show

00:43:11.480 --> 00:43:11.699
 you a

00:43:11.699 --> 00:43:12.559
 person who

00:43:12.559 --> 00:43:13.039
 is filled

00:43:13.039 --> 00:43:13.779
 with the

00:43:13.779 --> 00:43:14.239
 Holy Spirit.

00:43:18.879 --> 00:43:19.420
 So that's

00:43:19.420 --> 00:43:19.799
 what it means

00:43:19.799 --> 00:43:20.279
 to be filled

00:43:20.279 --> 00:43:20.500
 with the

00:43:20.500 --> 00:43:20.639
 Spirit.

00:43:21.940 --> 00:43:22.460
 How are we

00:43:22.460 --> 00:43:22.819
 to be filled

00:43:22.819 --> 00:43:23.019
 with the

00:43:23.019 --> 00:43:23.359
 Holy Spirit?

00:43:24.000 --> 00:43:24.379
 Number three.

00:43:28.899 --> 00:43:29.559
 Third question,

00:43:29.659 --> 00:43:30.239
 how are we

00:43:30.239 --> 00:43:30.759
 to be filled

00:43:30.759 --> 00:43:31.440
 with the

00:43:31.440 --> 00:43:31.920
 Holy Spirit?

00:43:31.920 --> 00:43:32.360
 So if you

00:43:32.360 --> 00:43:32.619
 are in

00:43:32.619 --> 00:43:33.159
 Christ,

00:43:34.059 --> 00:43:34.280
 if you

00:43:34.280 --> 00:43:34.579
 place

00:43:34.579 --> 00:43:35.099
 believing

00:43:35.099 --> 00:43:35.559
 faith in

00:43:35.559 --> 00:43:35.720
 him,

00:43:35.760 --> 00:43:36.300
 you have

00:43:36.300 --> 00:43:36.559
 been

00:43:36.559 --> 00:43:36.980
 baptized

00:43:36.980 --> 00:43:37.920
 in the

00:43:37.920 --> 00:43:38.240
 Holy Spirit,

00:43:38.320 --> 00:43:39.000
 you have

00:43:39.000 --> 00:43:39.320
 the Holy

00:43:39.320 --> 00:43:39.599
 Spirit,

00:43:39.780 --> 00:43:39.960
 right?

00:43:40.139 --> 00:43:40.720
 So catch

00:43:40.720 --> 00:43:40.840
 that,

00:43:40.860 --> 00:43:41.000
 you've

00:43:41.000 --> 00:43:41.180
 got to

00:43:41.180 --> 00:43:41.440
 get that.

00:43:41.720 --> 00:43:41.960
 He

00:43:41.960 --> 00:43:42.700
 exists

00:43:42.700 --> 00:43:43.119
 within

00:43:43.119 --> 00:43:43.320
 you,

00:43:43.400 --> 00:43:43.760
 but it

00:43:43.760 --> 00:43:44.400
 is possible

00:43:44.400 --> 00:43:44.840
 as

00:43:44.840 --> 00:43:45.159
 Christian

00:43:45.159 --> 00:43:45.559
 people

00:43:45.559 --> 00:43:46.360
 to not

00:43:46.360 --> 00:43:46.860
 walk

00:43:46.860 --> 00:43:47.460
 by that

00:43:47.460 --> 00:43:47.940
 Spirit.

00:43:48.480 --> 00:43:48.800
 It's

00:43:48.800 --> 00:43:49.139
 possible

00:43:49.139 --> 00:43:49.599
 to not

00:43:49.599 --> 00:43:49.820
 be

00:43:49.820 --> 00:43:50.240
 filled

00:43:50.240 --> 00:43:50.840
 by the

00:43:50.840 --> 00:43:51.079
 Spirit,

00:43:51.420 --> 00:43:51.559
 right?

00:43:51.659 --> 00:43:51.940
 How do

00:43:51.940 --> 00:43:52.139
 we know

00:43:52.139 --> 00:43:52.280
 we're

00:43:52.280 --> 00:43:52.460
 filled

00:43:52.460 --> 00:43:52.639
 with

00:43:52.639 --> 00:43:52.760
 him?

00:43:52.820 --> 00:43:53.000
 Because

00:43:53.000 --> 00:43:53.139
 we're

00:43:53.139 --> 00:43:53.460
 obedient,

00:43:54.220 --> 00:43:54.400
 right?

00:43:54.420 --> 00:43:54.639
 Because

00:43:54.639 --> 00:43:54.840
 we're

00:43:54.840 --> 00:43:55.159
 fulfilling

00:43:55.159 --> 00:43:55.559
 the commands

00:43:55.559 --> 00:43:55.980
 of God

00:43:55.980 --> 00:43:57.000
 by his

00:43:57.000 --> 00:43:57.440
 power at

00:43:57.440 --> 00:43:57.719
 work

00:43:57.719 --> 00:43:58.780
 within

00:43:58.780 --> 00:43:59.179
 us.

00:44:00.400 --> 00:44:00.960
 So if

00:44:00.960 --> 00:44:01.219
 we find

00:44:01.219 --> 00:44:01.420
 ourselves

00:44:01.420 --> 00:44:01.639
 in that

00:44:01.639 --> 00:44:01.880
 place,

00:44:01.940 --> 00:44:02.159
 and we

00:44:02.159 --> 00:44:02.619
 do so

00:44:02.619 --> 00:44:03.019
 often,

00:44:03.340 --> 00:44:03.519
 right?

00:44:04.579 --> 00:44:05.059
 Transgressing

00:44:05.059 --> 00:44:05.619
 the law

00:44:05.619 --> 00:44:06.480
 of Christ,

00:44:06.719 --> 00:44:07.139
 what are we

00:44:07.139 --> 00:44:07.460
 supposed to be

00:44:07.460 --> 00:44:07.760
 doing as

00:44:07.760 --> 00:44:07.920
 Christian

00:44:07.920 --> 00:44:08.300
 people?

00:44:08.840 --> 00:44:09.199
 Our

00:44:09.199 --> 00:44:09.719
 sanctification

00:44:09.719 --> 00:44:11.280
 is a

00:44:11.280 --> 00:44:11.960
 synergistic

00:44:11.960 --> 00:44:13.219
 activity,

00:44:13.480 --> 00:44:13.659
 right?

00:44:14.099 --> 00:44:14.599
 We're not

00:44:14.599 --> 00:44:15.539
 passive agents

00:44:15.539 --> 00:44:15.880
 in the

00:44:15.880 --> 00:44:16.440
 process.

00:44:17.059 --> 00:44:17.280
 We're

00:44:17.280 --> 00:44:18.300
 told to

00:44:18.300 --> 00:44:19.219
 do things,

00:44:19.260 --> 00:44:19.480
 to be

00:44:19.480 --> 00:44:19.840
 active,

00:44:19.960 --> 00:44:20.260
 to be

00:44:20.260 --> 00:44:21.019
 moving,

00:44:21.539 --> 00:44:21.699
 right?

00:44:21.760 --> 00:44:22.260
 All of

00:44:22.260 --> 00:44:22.519
 this by

00:44:22.519 --> 00:44:22.840
 the power

00:44:22.840 --> 00:44:23.179
 of God

00:44:23.179 --> 00:44:23.800
 at work

00:44:23.800 --> 00:44:24.039
 within

00:44:24.039 --> 00:44:24.320
 us,

00:44:24.719 --> 00:44:25.320
 by the

00:44:25.320 --> 00:44:25.599
 Spirit,

00:44:25.599 --> 00:44:27.360
 let me

00:44:27.360 --> 00:44:27.579
 show you

00:44:27.579 --> 00:44:28.079
 the primary

00:44:28.079 --> 00:44:28.699
 way in

00:44:28.699 --> 00:44:29.960
 which we

00:44:29.960 --> 00:44:30.719
 are filled

00:44:30.719 --> 00:44:30.980
 with the

00:44:30.980 --> 00:44:31.199
 Spirit.

00:44:31.420 --> 00:44:31.699
 Turn to

00:44:31.699 --> 00:44:32.059
 Colossians

00:44:32.059 --> 00:44:32.739
 chapter 3.

00:44:33.819 --> 00:44:34.420
 This is a

00:44:34.420 --> 00:44:34.940
 parallel

00:44:34.940 --> 00:44:37.460
 text to

00:44:37.460 --> 00:44:37.679
 what I

00:44:37.679 --> 00:44:37.980
 just read

00:44:37.980 --> 00:44:38.199
 to you,

00:44:38.239 --> 00:44:38.519
 Ephesians

00:44:38.519 --> 00:44:38.920
 5,

00:44:39.000 --> 00:44:39.920
 18-25.

00:44:41.139 --> 00:44:41.519
 And the

00:44:41.519 --> 00:44:41.839
 reason I

00:44:41.839 --> 00:44:42.059
 read it

00:44:42.059 --> 00:44:42.299
 all to

00:44:42.299 --> 00:44:42.440
 you,

00:44:42.500 --> 00:44:42.779
 even though

00:44:42.779 --> 00:44:42.960
 I know

00:44:42.960 --> 00:44:43.179
 I read

00:44:43.179 --> 00:44:44.159
 it so

00:44:44.159 --> 00:44:44.460
 extremely

00:44:44.460 --> 00:44:44.880
 fast,

00:44:44.940 --> 00:44:45.039
 you

00:44:45.039 --> 00:44:45.319
 couldn't

00:44:45.319 --> 00:44:46.019
 understand

00:44:46.019 --> 00:44:46.239
 what I

00:44:46.239 --> 00:44:46.339
 was

00:44:46.339 --> 00:44:46.559
 saying.

00:44:46.639 --> 00:44:46.739
 I'm

00:44:46.739 --> 00:44:46.839
 not

00:44:46.839 --> 00:44:47.079
 sure I

00:44:47.079 --> 00:44:47.279
 actually

00:44:47.279 --> 00:44:47.460
 said

00:44:47.460 --> 00:44:47.659
 all

00:44:47.659 --> 00:44:47.819
 the

00:44:47.819 --> 00:44:48.179
 words,

00:44:49.099 --> 00:44:49.400
 but I

00:44:49.400 --> 00:44:49.559
 wanted

00:44:49.559 --> 00:44:49.779
 you to

00:44:49.779 --> 00:44:50.339
 see the

00:44:50.339 --> 00:44:50.860
 parallel

00:44:50.860 --> 00:44:51.179
 between

00:44:51.179 --> 00:44:51.299
 the

00:44:51.299 --> 00:44:51.460
 two.

00:44:51.460 --> 00:44:51.980
 Okay?

00:44:53.519 --> 00:44:53.920
 Beginning

00:44:53.920 --> 00:44:54.279
 in verse

00:44:54.279 --> 00:44:55.139
 16,

00:44:55.599 --> 00:44:56.900
 there's

00:44:56.900 --> 00:44:57.319
 not much

00:44:57.319 --> 00:44:57.659
 different

00:44:57.659 --> 00:44:57.920
 about

00:44:57.920 --> 00:44:58.099
 these

00:44:58.099 --> 00:44:58.259
 two

00:44:58.259 --> 00:44:58.639
 passages.

00:44:59.779 --> 00:45:00.219
 There's

00:45:00.219 --> 00:45:00.460
 not a

00:45:00.460 --> 00:45:00.559
 lot

00:45:00.559 --> 00:45:00.960
 different

00:45:00.960 --> 00:45:01.759
 except

00:45:01.759 --> 00:45:01.940
 the

00:45:01.940 --> 00:45:02.159
 beginning

00:45:02.159 --> 00:45:02.380
 of

00:45:02.839 --> 00:45:04.119
 16.

00:45:04.239 --> 00:45:04.360
 Okay,

00:45:04.400 --> 00:45:04.579
 so let

00:45:04.579 --> 00:45:04.619
 me

00:45:04.619 --> 00:45:04.980
 remind

00:45:04.980 --> 00:45:05.319
 you,

00:45:06.400 --> 00:45:06.539
 verse

00:45:06.539 --> 00:45:06.880
 18,

00:45:06.980 --> 00:45:07.179
 chapter

00:45:07.179 --> 00:45:07.799
 5 of

00:45:07.799 --> 00:45:08.219
 Ephesians,

00:45:08.339 --> 00:45:08.519
 and do

00:45:08.519 --> 00:45:08.839
 not get

00:45:08.839 --> 00:45:09.019
 drunk

00:45:09.019 --> 00:45:09.199
 with

00:45:09.199 --> 00:45:09.460
 wine,

00:45:09.500 --> 00:45:09.719
 for that

00:45:09.719 --> 00:45:09.819
 is

00:45:09.819 --> 00:45:10.159
 debauchery,

00:45:10.259 --> 00:45:10.639
 but be

00:45:10.639 --> 00:45:11.119
 filled

00:45:11.119 --> 00:45:12.139
 with the

00:45:12.139 --> 00:45:12.420
 Holy

00:45:12.420 --> 00:45:13.420
 Spirit.

 Colossians

00:45:15.319 --> 00:45:15.619

00:45:15.699 --> 00:45:15.900
 beginning

00:45:15.900 --> 00:45:16.039
 of

00:45:16.039 --> 00:45:16.219
 verse

00:45:16.219 --> 00:45:16.839
 16,

00:45:17.900 --> 00:45:18.159
 let

00:45:18.159 --> 00:45:18.860
 the

00:45:18.860 --> 00:45:19.460
 word

00:45:19.460 --> 00:45:20.400
 of

00:45:20.400 --> 00:45:21.099
 Christ

00:45:21.099 --> 00:45:22.980
 dwell

 you

00:45:24.519 --> 00:45:25.079
 richly.

00:45:25.599 --> 00:45:28.299
 Paul

00:45:28.299 --> 00:45:28.639
 uses

00:45:28.639 --> 00:45:28.920
 the

00:45:28.920 --> 00:45:29.219
 phrase,

 let

00:47:16.619 --> 00:47:17.059
 those

00:47:17.059 --> 00:47:17.559
 who

00:47:17.559 --> 00:47:17.659
 are

00:47:17.659 --> 00:47:17.779
 in

00:47:17.779 --> 00:47:17.899
 the

00:47:17.899 --> 00:47:18.279
 flesh

00:47:18.279 --> 00:47:19.559
 cannot

00:47:19.559 --> 00:47:20.419
 please

00:47:20.419 --> 00:47:21.319
 God.

00:47:22.119 --> 00:47:22.719
 So the

00:47:22.719 --> 00:47:22.959
 primary

00:47:22.959 --> 00:47:23.399
 activity

00:47:23.399 --> 00:47:23.679
 and the

00:47:23.679 --> 00:47:23.919
 primary

00:47:23.919 --> 00:47:24.339
 way

00:47:24.339 --> 00:47:24.519
 that

00:47:24.519 --> 00:47:24.679
 we

00:47:24.679 --> 00:47:24.799
 as

00:47:24.799 --> 00:47:24.899
 the

00:47:24.899 --> 00:47:25.099
 people

00:47:25.099 --> 00:47:25.239
 of

00:47:25.239 --> 00:47:25.419
 God

00:47:25.419 --> 00:47:25.559
 are

00:47:25.559 --> 00:47:25.759
 filled

00:47:25.759 --> 00:47:25.899
 with

00:47:25.899 --> 00:47:26.039
 the

00:47:26.039 --> 00:47:26.299
 Spirit

00:47:26.299 --> 00:47:26.859
 is

00:47:26.859 --> 00:47:27.019
 that

00:47:27.019 --> 00:47:27.239
 we

00:47:27.239 --> 00:47:28.279
 know

00:47:28.279 --> 00:47:29.619
 this

00:47:29.619 --> 00:47:29.959
 book,

00:47:30.959 --> 00:47:31.279
 that

00:47:31.279 --> 00:47:31.759
 we

00:47:31.759 --> 00:47:32.019
 are

00:47:32.019 --> 00:47:33.439
 engrossed

00:47:33.439 --> 00:47:33.619
 with

00:47:33.619 --> 00:47:33.859
 it,

00:47:34.119 --> 00:47:34.359
 that

00:47:34.359 --> 00:47:34.519
 it

00:47:34.519 --> 00:47:35.599
 saturates

00:47:35.599 --> 00:47:35.979
 us,

00:47:36.359 --> 00:47:36.500
 the

00:47:36.500 --> 00:47:36.839
 Holy

00:47:36.839 --> 00:47:37.119
 Writ,

00:47:37.399 --> 00:47:37.639
 the

00:47:37.639 --> 00:47:38.039
 Scripture,

00:47:38.419 --> 00:47:38.879
 the 66

00:47:38.879 --> 00:47:39.619
 books of

00:47:39.619 --> 00:47:40.059
 the Old

00:47:40.059 --> 00:47:40.539
 and the

00:47:40.539 --> 00:47:40.739
 New

00:47:40.739 --> 00:47:41.299
 Testament.

00:47:41.300 --> 00:47:42.700
 I'm

00:47:42.700 --> 00:47:42.860
 going to

00:47:42.860 --> 00:47:43.160
 look for

00:47:43.160 --> 00:47:43.320
 some

00:47:43.320 --> 00:47:43.860
 opportunities

00:47:43.860 --> 00:47:44.160
 as we

00:47:44.160 --> 00:47:44.260
 go

00:47:44.260 --> 00:47:44.440
 through

00:47:44.440 --> 00:47:44.640
 Acts,

00:47:44.680 --> 00:47:44.820
 I'm

00:47:44.820 --> 00:47:44.960
 sure

00:47:44.960 --> 00:47:45.120
 they

00:47:45.120 --> 00:47:45.260
 will

00:47:45.260 --> 00:47:45.720
 abound

00:47:45.720 --> 00:47:46.280
 for

00:47:46.280 --> 00:47:46.480
 me

00:47:46.480 --> 00:47:46.760
 to

00:47:46.760 --> 00:47:48.860
 teach

00:47:48.860 --> 00:47:49.060
 you

00:47:49.060 --> 00:47:49.260
 some

00:47:49.260 --> 00:47:49.360
 of

00:47:49.360 --> 00:47:49.480
 the

00:47:49.480 --> 00:47:49.960
 Bible's

00:47:49.960 --> 00:47:50.380
 canonical

00:47:50.380 --> 00:47:51.039
 veracity.

00:47:51.320 --> 00:47:51.740
 Why do

00:47:51.740 --> 00:47:51.860
 we

00:47:51.860 --> 00:47:52.060
 believe

00:47:52.060 --> 00:47:52.180
 that

00:47:52.180 --> 00:47:52.340
 these

00:47:52.340 --> 00:47:52.400
 are

00:47:52.400 --> 00:47:52.519
 the

00:47:52.519 --> 00:47:52.820
 66

00:47:52.820 --> 00:47:53.360
 inspired

00:47:53.360 --> 00:47:53.660
 books

00:47:53.660 --> 00:47:54.280
 of

00:47:54.280 --> 00:47:54.640
 the

00:47:54.640 --> 00:47:54.820
 Old

00:47:54.820 --> 00:47:54.920
 and

00:47:54.920 --> 00:47:55.039
 New

00:47:55.039 --> 00:47:55.380
 Testament?

00:47:55.840 --> 00:47:56.100
 They

00:47:56.100 --> 00:47:56.240
 were

00:47:56.240 --> 00:47:56.720
 inspired

00:47:56.720 --> 00:47:56.940
 by

00:47:56.940 --> 00:47:57.200
 God,

00:47:57.260 --> 00:47:57.519
 spoken

00:47:57.519 --> 00:47:57.820
 into

00:47:57.820 --> 00:47:58.100
 men,

00:47:58.180 --> 00:47:58.340
 written

00:47:58.340 --> 00:47:58.720
 down,

00:47:59.039 --> 00:47:59.180
 that

00:47:59.180 --> 00:47:59.280
 they

00:47:59.280 --> 00:47:59.500
 were

00:47:59.500 --> 00:48:00.360
 expired

00:48:00.360 --> 00:48:00.440
!

00:48:00.440 --> 00:48:01.000
 by

00:48:01.000 --> 00:48:01.380
 him,

00:48:01.780 --> 00:48:02.220
 all

00:48:02.220 --> 00:48:02.500
 scriptures

00:48:02.500 --> 00:48:03.160
 breathed

00:48:03.160 --> 00:48:03.160


00:48:03.160 --> 00:48:03.400
 out

00:48:03.400 --> 00:48:04.060
 by

00:48:04.060 --> 00:48:04.940
 God,

00:48:05.320 --> 00:48:05.580
 that

00:48:05.580 --> 00:48:05.820
 he

00:48:05.820 --> 00:48:06.039
 is

00:48:11.300 --> 00:48:11.740
 such,

00:48:12.460 --> 00:48:12.720
 like

00:48:12.720 --> 00:48:12.800
 we

00:48:12.800 --> 00:48:13.000
 pick

00:48:13.000 --> 00:48:13.120
 it

00:48:13.120 --> 00:48:13.300
 up

00:48:13.300 --> 00:48:13.480
 as

00:48:13.480 --> 00:48:13.780
 such.

00:48:14.100 --> 00:48:14.460
 The

00:48:14.460 --> 00:48:14.900
 creator

00:48:14.900 --> 00:48:15.140
 of

00:48:15.140 --> 00:48:15.580
 all

00:48:15.580 --> 00:48:16.060
 the

00:48:16.060 --> 00:48:16.800
 universe

00:48:16.800 --> 00:48:18.460
 condescended

00:48:18.460 --> 00:48:18.840
 to become

00:48:18.840 --> 00:48:19.460
 an author

00:48:19.460 --> 00:48:21.300
 spoke

00:48:21.300 --> 00:48:21.519
 through

00:48:21.519 --> 00:48:21.920
 men to

00:48:21.920 --> 00:48:22.200
 write

00:48:22.200 --> 00:48:22.480
 stuff

00:48:22.480 --> 00:48:22.860
 down

00:48:22.860 --> 00:48:23.180
 so that

00:48:23.180 --> 00:48:23.360
 we

00:48:23.360 --> 00:48:23.600
 as a

00:48:23.600 --> 00:48:23.920
 people

00:48:23.920 --> 00:48:24.340
 who

00:48:24.340 --> 00:48:24.539
 use

00:48:24.539 --> 00:48:25.100
 language

00:48:25.100 --> 00:48:25.340
 to

00:48:25.340 --> 00:48:25.740
 communicate

00:48:25.740 --> 00:48:26.640
 ideas

00:48:26.640 --> 00:48:27.220
 have

00:48:27.220 --> 00:48:27.420
 something

00:48:27.420 --> 00:48:27.660
 we can

00:48:27.660 --> 00:48:27.840
 hold

00:48:27.840 --> 00:48:28.060
 in our

00:48:28.060 --> 00:48:28.360
 hands

00:48:28.360 --> 00:48:28.700
 to

00:48:28.700 --> 00:48:29.260
 understand

00:48:29.260 --> 00:48:29.780
 what

00:48:29.780 --> 00:48:29.920
 we

00:48:29.920 --> 00:48:30.100
 need

00:48:30.100 --> 00:48:30.220
 to

00:48:30.220 --> 00:48:30.440
 know

00:48:30.440 --> 00:48:30.840
 about

00:48:30.840 --> 00:48:31.120
 who

00:48:31.120 --> 00:48:31.320
 he

00:48:31.320 --> 00:48:31.620
 is

00:48:31.620 --> 00:48:31.940
 and

00:48:31.940 --> 00:48:32.140
 how

00:48:32.140 --> 00:48:32.300
 we're

00:48:32.300 --> 00:48:32.420
 meant

00:48:32.420 --> 00:48:32.539
 to

00:48:32.539 --> 00:48:32.820
 operate

00:48:32.820 --> 00:48:32.960
 in

00:48:32.960 --> 00:48:33.340
 relationship

00:48:33.340 --> 00:48:33.539
 to

00:48:33.539 --> 00:48:33.740
 him.

00:48:35.960 --> 00:48:36.220
 And

00:48:36.220 --> 00:48:36.460
 beloved,

00:48:36.539 --> 00:48:36.760
 I put

00:48:36.760 --> 00:48:37.260
 myself

00:48:37.260 --> 00:48:37.740
 in this

00:48:37.740 --> 00:48:38.100
 place

00:48:38.100 --> 00:48:38.360
 as

00:48:38.360 --> 00:48:38.680
 well.

00:48:38.679 --> 00:48:39.239
 we

00:48:39.239 --> 00:48:39.799
 neglect

00:48:39.799 --> 00:48:40.119
 this

00:48:40.119 --> 00:48:40.379
 book

00:48:40.379 --> 00:48:41.179
 far

00:48:41.179 --> 00:48:41.799
 too

00:48:41.799 --> 00:48:42.859
 much.

00:48:46.159 --> 00:48:46.879
 The

00:48:46.879 --> 00:48:47.839
 disobedience

00:48:47.839 --> 00:48:48.239
 in your

00:48:48.239 --> 00:48:48.659
 life

00:48:48.659 --> 00:48:50.440
 is

00:48:50.440 --> 00:48:51.179
 almost

00:48:51.179 --> 00:48:51.819
 always

00:48:51.819 --> 00:48:52.519
 a

00:48:52.519 --> 00:48:52.839
 direct

00:48:52.839 --> 00:48:53.399
 response

00:48:53.399 --> 00:48:53.980
 to

00:48:53.980 --> 00:48:54.179
 your

00:48:54.179 --> 00:48:54.779
 lack

00:48:54.779 --> 00:48:54.960
 of

00:48:54.960 --> 00:48:55.460
 understanding

00:48:55.460 --> 00:48:55.960
 of the

00:48:55.960 --> 00:48:56.059
 word

00:48:56.059 --> 00:48:56.179
 of

00:48:56.179 --> 00:48:56.399
 God.

00:48:57.679 --> 00:48:57.859
 You

00:48:57.859 --> 00:48:58.019
 don't

00:48:58.019 --> 00:48:58.239
 fill

00:48:58.239 --> 00:48:58.619
 yourself

00:48:58.619 --> 00:48:58.960
 up

00:48:58.960 --> 00:48:59.199
 with

00:48:59.199 --> 00:48:59.339
 it

00:48:59.339 --> 00:48:59.480
 and

00:48:59.480 --> 00:48:59.619
 it

00:48:59.619 --> 00:49:00.239
 evidences

00:49:00.239 --> 00:49:00.699
 itself

00:49:00.699 --> 00:49:00.859
 in

00:49:00.859 --> 00:49:01.000
 your

00:49:01.000 --> 00:49:03.000
 disobedience.

00:49:04.259 --> 00:49:04.379
 Now

00:49:04.379 --> 00:49:04.659
 that is

00:49:04.659 --> 00:49:05.039
 not to

00:49:05.039 --> 00:49:05.440
 say

00:49:05.440 --> 00:49:06.019
 that

00:49:06.019 --> 00:49:06.279
 simply

00:49:06.279 --> 00:49:06.579
 having

00:49:06.579 --> 00:49:07.399
 knowledge

00:49:07.399 --> 00:49:08.019
 of

00:49:08.019 --> 00:49:08.139
 the

00:49:08.139 --> 00:49:08.480
 Bible

00:49:08.480 --> 00:49:09.760
 I

00:49:09.760 --> 00:49:09.960
 know

00:49:09.960 --> 00:49:10.480
 unbelieving

00:49:10.480 --> 00:49:10.840
 people

00:49:10.840 --> 00:49:11.260
 that

00:49:11.260 --> 00:49:11.480
 read

00:49:11.480 --> 00:49:11.599
 the

00:49:11.599 --> 00:49:11.820
 Bible.

00:49:13.260 --> 00:49:13.740
 I

00:49:13.740 --> 00:49:13.860
 know

00:49:13.860 --> 00:49:14.159
 unbelieving

00:49:14.159 --> 00:49:14.420
 people

00:49:14.420 --> 00:49:14.559
 who

00:49:14.559 --> 00:49:14.699
 have

00:49:14.699 --> 00:49:15.539
 searched

00:49:15.539 --> 00:49:16.340
 the

00:49:16.340 --> 00:49:16.659
 religious

00:49:16.659 --> 00:49:17.139
 books

00:49:17.139 --> 00:49:17.900
 that

00:49:17.900 --> 00:49:18.019
 didn't

00:49:18.019 --> 00:49:18.280
 come to

00:49:18.280 --> 00:49:18.480
 saving

00:49:18.480 --> 00:49:18.719
 faith

00:49:18.719 --> 00:49:18.860
 in

00:49:18.860 --> 00:49:19.079
 Christ

00:49:19.079 --> 00:49:19.320
 as a

00:49:19.320 --> 00:49:19.500
 result

00:49:19.500 --> 00:49:19.679
 of

00:49:19.679 --> 00:49:20.179
 reading

00:49:20.179 --> 00:49:20.719
 and

00:49:20.719 --> 00:49:20.960
 knowing.

00:49:21.280 --> 00:49:21.539
 I

00:49:21.539 --> 00:49:21.719
 know

00:49:21.719 --> 00:49:21.920
 some

00:49:21.920 --> 00:49:22.559
 unbelieving

00:49:22.559 --> 00:49:22.960
 people

00:49:22.960 --> 00:49:23.500
 who

00:49:23.500 --> 00:49:23.820
 have

00:49:23.820 --> 00:49:24.420
 a

00:49:24.420 --> 00:49:24.980
 clearer

00:49:24.980 --> 00:49:26.019
 theology

00:49:26.019 --> 00:49:27.740
 because

00:49:27.740 --> 00:49:28.000
 they're

00:49:28.000 --> 00:49:28.480
 thinkers

00:49:28.480 --> 00:49:28.960
 and they

00:49:28.960 --> 00:49:29.099
 read

00:49:29.099 --> 00:49:29.240
 the

00:49:29.240 --> 00:49:29.539
 Bible

00:49:29.539 --> 00:49:29.940
 than

00:49:29.940 --> 00:49:30.119
 some

00:49:30.119 --> 00:49:30.500
 Christians

00:49:30.500 --> 00:49:31.300
 that

00:49:31.300 --> 00:49:31.400
 I

00:49:31.400 --> 00:49:31.599
 know.

00:49:33.039 --> 00:49:33.599
 It's

00:49:33.599 --> 00:49:33.900
 frightening.

00:49:35.599 --> 00:49:35.740
 But

00:49:35.740 --> 00:49:36.119
 this

00:49:36.119 --> 00:49:36.539
 is

00:49:36.539 --> 00:49:37.099
 the

00:49:37.099 --> 00:49:37.639
 tool.

00:49:37.639 --> 00:49:38.079
 If we're

00:49:38.079 --> 00:49:38.339
 to set

00:49:38.339 --> 00:49:38.480
 our

00:49:38.480 --> 00:49:39.000
 mind

00:49:39.000 --> 00:49:39.179
 on

00:49:39.179 --> 00:49:39.319
 the

00:49:39.319 --> 00:49:39.539
 things

00:49:39.539 --> 00:49:39.679
 of

00:49:39.679 --> 00:49:39.819
 the

00:49:39.819 --> 00:49:40.079
 Spirit,

00:49:40.079 --> 00:49:41.019
 what are

00:49:41.019 --> 00:49:41.279
 those

00:49:41.279 --> 00:49:41.659
 things?

00:49:42.139 --> 00:49:42.359
 That's

00:49:42.359 --> 00:49:42.480
 the

00:49:42.480 --> 00:49:42.940
 book

00:49:42.940 --> 00:49:43.099
 that

00:49:43.099 --> 00:49:43.219
 he

00:49:43.219 --> 00:49:43.719
 wrote.

00:49:44.440 --> 00:49:44.679
 These

00:49:44.679 --> 00:49:44.819
 are

00:49:44.819 --> 00:49:44.940
 the

00:49:44.940 --> 00:49:45.099
 things

00:49:45.099 --> 00:49:45.199
 of

00:49:45.199 --> 00:49:45.279
 the

00:49:45.279 --> 00:49:45.500
 Spirit

00:49:45.500 --> 00:49:46.859
 that

00:49:46.859 --> 00:49:46.980
 we're

00:49:46.980 --> 00:49:47.099
 to

00:49:47.099 --> 00:49:47.219
 set

00:49:47.219 --> 00:49:47.379
 our

00:49:47.379 --> 00:49:47.699
 minds

00:49:47.699 --> 00:49:47.920
 on.

00:49:47.920 --> 00:49:48.480
 This

00:49:48.480 --> 00:49:48.619
 is

00:49:48.619 --> 00:49:48.799
 the

00:49:48.799 --> 00:49:49.239
 tool

00:49:49.239 --> 00:49:49.699
 that

00:49:49.699 --> 00:49:49.879
 the

00:49:49.879 --> 00:49:50.179
 Spirit

00:49:50.179 --> 00:49:50.359
 of

00:49:50.359 --> 00:49:50.759
 God

00:49:50.759 --> 00:49:51.619
 uses

00:49:51.619 --> 00:49:52.199
 to bring

00:49:52.199 --> 00:49:52.379
 about

00:49:52.379 --> 00:49:52.799
 change

00:49:52.799 --> 00:49:53.279
 in our

00:49:53.279 --> 00:49:53.679
 lives.

00:49:53.920 --> 00:49:54.199
 At

00:49:54.199 --> 00:49:54.759
 times

00:49:54.759 --> 00:49:55.179
 it's

00:49:55.179 --> 00:49:55.460
 the

00:49:55.460 --> 00:49:56.699
 sword

00:49:56.699 --> 00:49:56.940
 he

00:49:56.940 --> 00:49:57.699
 wields.

00:49:58.319 --> 00:49:58.900
 At

00:49:58.900 --> 00:49:59.379
 times

00:49:59.379 --> 00:49:59.699
 it's

00:49:59.699 --> 00:49:59.920
 the

00:49:59.920 --> 00:50:00.819
 scalpel

00:50:00.819 --> 00:50:01.359
 that

00:50:01.359 --> 00:50:01.539
 he

00:50:01.539 --> 00:50:02.000
 uses

00:50:02.000 --> 00:50:02.839
 to bring

00:50:02.839 --> 00:50:03.299
 about

00:50:03.299 --> 00:50:03.559
 the

00:50:03.559 --> 00:50:04.159
 necessary

00:50:04.159 --> 00:50:04.859
 change.

00:50:06.000 --> 00:50:06.119
 And

00:50:06.119 --> 00:50:06.579
 if we

00:50:06.579 --> 00:50:06.899
 are

00:50:06.899 --> 00:50:07.899
 reading

00:50:07.899 --> 00:50:09.319
 and

00:50:09.319 --> 00:50:10.139
 meditating

00:50:10.139 --> 00:50:10.659
 on

00:50:10.659 --> 00:50:11.059
 the

00:50:11.059 --> 00:50:11.379
 Scripture

00:50:11.379 --> 00:50:12.539
 the

00:50:12.539 --> 00:50:12.799
 Spirit

00:50:12.799 --> 00:50:12.920
 of

00:50:12.920 --> 00:50:13.079
 God

00:50:13.079 --> 00:50:13.259
 will

00:50:13.259 --> 00:50:13.719
 use

00:50:13.719 --> 00:50:13.879
 it

00:50:13.879 --> 00:50:14.099
 to

00:50:14.099 --> 00:50:14.299
 bring

00:50:14.299 --> 00:50:14.599
 about

00:50:14.599 --> 00:50:15.159
 obedience

00:50:15.159 --> 00:50:15.879
 in

00:50:15.879 --> 00:50:16.159
 us.

00:50:16.339 --> 00:50:16.399
 We

00:50:16.399 --> 00:50:16.539
 will

00:50:16.539 --> 00:50:16.819
 be

00:50:16.819 --> 00:50:17.679
 filled

00:50:17.679 --> 00:50:19.059
 with

00:50:19.059 --> 00:50:19.179
 the

00:50:19.179 --> 00:50:19.440
 Spirit.

00:50:20.679 --> 00:50:21.039
 Eastern

00:50:21.039 --> 00:50:21.420
 religions

00:50:21.420 --> 00:50:21.859
 have

00:50:21.859 --> 00:50:22.480
 stolen

00:50:22.480 --> 00:50:22.699
 the

00:50:22.699 --> 00:50:23.139
 idea

00:50:23.139 --> 00:50:23.759
 of

00:50:23.759 --> 00:50:24.219
 meditation

00:50:24.219 --> 00:50:24.480
 from

00:50:24.480 --> 00:50:24.619
 us

00:50:24.619 --> 00:50:24.739
 and

00:50:24.739 --> 00:50:24.859
 made

00:50:24.859 --> 00:50:24.940
 it

00:50:24.940 --> 00:50:25.099
 a

00:50:25.099 --> 00:50:25.559
 mindless

00:50:25.559 --> 00:50:25.859
 thing.

00:50:26.480 --> 00:50:26.779
 Meditation

00:50:26.779 --> 00:50:27.019
 is not

00:50:27.019 --> 00:50:27.139
 a

00:50:27.139 --> 00:50:27.399
 mindless

00:50:27.399 --> 00:50:27.559
 thing.

00:50:27.639 --> 00:50:27.899
 Meditation

00:50:27.899 --> 00:50:28.279
 is a

00:50:28.279 --> 00:50:28.719
 mindful

00:50:28.719 --> 00:50:29.079
 thing.

00:50:29.699 --> 00:50:29.799
 It's

00:50:29.799 --> 00:50:30.059
 reading

00:50:30.059 --> 00:50:30.199
 the

00:50:30.199 --> 00:50:30.299
 Word

00:50:30.299 --> 00:50:30.420
 of

00:50:30.420 --> 00:50:30.699
 God.

00:50:30.960 --> 00:50:31.239
 It's

00:50:31.239 --> 00:50:31.899
 considering

00:50:31.899 --> 00:50:32.099
 the

00:50:32.099 --> 00:50:32.219
 Word

00:50:32.219 --> 00:50:32.359
 of

00:50:32.359 --> 00:50:32.599
 God.

00:50:32.699 --> 00:50:32.779
 It's

00:50:34.159 --> 00:50:34.359
 to

00:50:34.359 --> 00:50:34.799
 the

00:50:34.799 --> 00:50:34.920
 Word

00:50:34.920 --> 00:50:35.059
 of

00:50:35.059 --> 00:50:35.279
 God.

00:50:35.339 --> 00:50:35.420
 And

00:50:35.420 --> 00:50:35.699
 all

00:50:35.699 --> 00:50:35.899
 of

00:50:35.899 --> 00:50:36.159
 this

00:50:36.159 --> 00:50:36.379
 the

00:50:36.379 --> 00:50:36.619
 Spirit

00:50:36.619 --> 00:50:36.799
 is

00:50:36.799 --> 00:50:37.299
 mixed

00:50:37.299 --> 00:50:37.599
 in

00:50:37.599 --> 00:50:37.799
 the

00:50:37.799 --> 00:50:38.339
 middle

00:50:38.339 --> 00:50:38.579
 of

00:50:38.579 --> 00:50:38.940
 helping

00:50:38.940 --> 00:50:39.539
 us

00:50:39.539 --> 00:50:40.519
 understand

00:50:40.519 --> 00:50:41.799
 spiritual

00:50:41.799 --> 00:50:42.159
 things

00:50:42.159 --> 00:50:42.519
 and

00:50:42.519 --> 00:50:42.659
 giving

00:50:42.659 --> 00:50:42.799
 them

00:50:42.799 --> 00:50:42.960
 right

00:50:42.960 --> 00:50:43.059
 and

00:50:43.059 --> 00:50:43.339
 proper

00:50:43.339 --> 00:50:44.159
 application

00:50:44.159 --> 00:50:44.339
 in

00:50:44.339 --> 00:50:44.440
 our

00:50:44.440 --> 00:50:44.779
 lives.

00:50:45.619 --> 00:50:46.179
 If

00:50:46.179 --> 00:50:46.379
 we're

00:50:46.379 --> 00:50:46.719
 not

00:50:46.719 --> 00:50:47.159
 obedient

00:50:47.159 --> 00:50:48.000
 and

00:50:48.000 --> 00:50:48.159
 we're

00:50:48.159 --> 00:50:48.440
 not

00:50:48.440 --> 00:50:48.619
 we

00:50:48.619 --> 00:50:48.899
 find

00:50:48.899 --> 00:50:49.299
 ourselves

00:50:49.299 --> 00:50:49.779
 in

00:50:49.779 --> 00:50:50.440
 sin

00:50:50.440 --> 00:50:50.980
 we

00:50:50.980 --> 00:50:51.379
 commit

00:50:51.379 --> 00:50:51.719
 these

00:50:51.719 --> 00:50:52.159
 acts

00:50:52.159 --> 00:50:52.679
 of

00:50:52.679 --> 00:50:53.039
 sin

00:50:53.039 --> 00:50:54.239
 it's

00:50:54.239 --> 00:50:54.819
 not

00:50:54.819 --> 00:50:55.039
 because

00:50:55.039 --> 00:50:55.159
 we

00:50:55.159 --> 00:50:55.259
 need

00:50:55.259 --> 00:50:55.339
 to

00:50:55.339 --> 00:50:55.679
 try

00:50:55.679 --> 00:50:56.079
 harder

00:50:56.079 --> 00:50:56.079


00:50:56.179 --> 00:50:56.179


00:50:56.179 --> 00:50:56.319
 because

00:50:56.319 --> 00:50:56.440
 we

00:50:56.440 --> 00:50:56.579
 need

00:50:56.579 --> 00:50:56.639
 to

00:50:56.639 --> 00:50:56.739
 go

00:50:56.739 --> 00:50:57.139
 back

00:50:57.139 --> 00:50:57.299
 to

00:50:57.299 --> 00:50:57.480
 the

00:50:57.480 --> 00:50:57.980
 source

00:50:57.980 --> 00:50:58.420
 of

00:50:58.420 --> 00:50:58.759
 filling.

00:50:58.760 --> 00:50:59.860
 We need

00:50:59.860 --> 00:50:59.980
 to be

00:50:59.980 --> 00:51:00.320
 filled

00:51:00.320 --> 00:51:00.480
 by

00:51:00.480 --> 00:51:00.640
 the

00:51:00.640 --> 00:51:00.860
 Spirit

00:51:00.860 --> 00:51:01.140
 so that

00:51:01.140 --> 00:51:01.280
 we

00:51:01.280 --> 00:51:01.640
 won't

00:51:01.640 --> 00:51:01.900
 be

00:51:01.900 --> 00:51:03.140
 disobedient

00:51:03.140 --> 00:51:03.380
 so that

00:51:03.380 --> 00:51:03.500
 we

00:51:03.500 --> 00:51:03.940
 won't

00:51:03.940 --> 00:51:04.540
 fulfill

00:51:04.540 --> 00:51:04.720
 the

00:51:04.720 --> 00:51:05.180
 desires

00:51:05.180 --> 00:51:06.000
 of

00:51:06.000 --> 00:51:06.140
 the

00:51:06.140 --> 00:51:06.500
 flesh.

00:51:06.860 --> 00:51:07.040
 We

00:51:07.040 --> 00:51:07.120
 need

00:51:07.120 --> 00:51:07.240
 to be

00:51:07.240 --> 00:51:07.600
 back

00:51:07.600 --> 00:51:08.240
 here

00:51:08.240 --> 00:51:09.380
 saturating

00:51:09.380 --> 00:51:10.020
 ourselves

00:51:10.020 --> 00:51:10.320
 letting

00:51:10.320 --> 00:51:10.600
 the

00:51:10.600 --> 00:51:10.920
 Word

00:51:10.920 --> 00:51:11.100
 of

00:51:11.100 --> 00:51:11.440
 Christ

00:51:11.440 --> 00:51:11.880
 dwell

00:51:11.880 --> 00:51:12.080
 in

00:51:12.080 --> 00:51:12.540
 us

00:51:12.540 --> 00:51:14.420
 richly.

00:51:16.000 --> 00:51:16.620
 And

00:51:16.620 --> 00:51:16.880
 this is

00:51:16.880 --> 00:51:17.140
 what it

00:51:17.140 --> 00:51:17.540
 means

00:51:17.540 --> 00:51:19.080
 to be

00:51:19.080 --> 00:51:19.400
 baptized

00:51:19.400 --> 00:51:21.580
 to be

00:51:21.580 --> 00:51:22.080
 filled

00:51:22.080 --> 00:51:22.560
 and this

00:51:22.560 --> 00:51:22.800
 is the

00:51:22.800 --> 00:51:23.280
 way

00:51:23.280 --> 00:51:24.060
 in which

00:51:24.060 --> 00:51:25.240
 we are

00:51:25.240 --> 00:51:25.480
 filled.

00:51:25.960 --> 00:51:26.220
 Let's

00:51:26.220 --> 00:51:26.340
 pray

00:51:26.340 --> 00:51:26.640
 together.
